Are you new to All Saints? Want to find out more? Join us on the first Sunday of any month at 10am for a Newcomer’s Coffee Hour. We’ll gather outside on a covered veranda for coffee and croissants. Staff, clergy, and vestry members will be available to chat, answer questions, and get to know you! Childcare available in the nursery right down the hallway. No need to RSVP.

On Sunday, November 1st, we’ll celebrate All Saints Day with baptism services at the 11 am service. If you’d like your child to be baptized, please fill out this Baptism Application—one form per child.

Looking ahead to 2027, our baptism dates will include:

• January 10 – The Baptism of Our Lord

• March 27 – Easter Vigil

• March 28 – Easter Morning

• May 16 – Pentecost

• November 7– All Saints Day

Here is everything you need to know to feel prepared and excited for this coming Sunday! All Saints Day is a big day in the life of our congregation.

Here’s why:

• It’s our Feast of Title — the day in the church year after which we were named (that’s Anglican-speak for “our church’s namesake celebration”!).

• It marks our 21st Anniversary! On All Saints Day in 2005, a few faithful believers felt God’s call to plant an Anglican church between Durham and Chapel Hill — and All Saints Church was born.

• Bishop Quigg Lawrence, will be with us to celebrate!

• In the morning, we will celebrate confirmations at the 8:30 AM service, baptisms at the 11:00 AM service, and enjoy a light potluck reception in between at 10:00 AM. (Plan to come early to find parking!)

• And finally, we will end the day with an evening of food, fun, and fellowship with Chili Night hosted in parishioners' homes!

Take a look at the schedule and make plans to join us for as much of this special day as you can. Sunday morning breakfast potluck and chili cook-off sign-ups are found HERE.

On All Saints Day, November 1, 2026, Bishop Quigg will be visiting and performing a Service of Confirmations and Receptions at the 8:30 am service. If you are interested in being confirmed or received into the Church, or becoming a member of All Saints Church, make sure to contact Mariah Cody if you have not already.

Please plan to join us for this exciting service!

In honor of the Feast of St. Francis, we will be holding a Blessing of the Animals service on October 4 at 5pm outside on the lawn of our church offices. All pets are welcome for this very brief outdoor service.

As we prepare to move into our new church home and enter an exciting new season of ministry, we invite everyone to join us for a Town Hall Meeting during the Interlude Hour.

This will be an opportunity to hear updates from church leadership, learn more about the months ahead, and ask any questions you may have about the transition. Whether you're curious about the building, our timeline, Sunday logistics, or what's coming next, we'd love for you to be part of the conversation.

We also hope to make Town Halls a regular part of our life together, offering them approximately twice each year outside of our Annual Meeting and Annual Congregational Meeting. These gatherings are designed to provide additional opportunities for communication, transparency, and conversation as we discern God's leading together.

Please submit your questions ahead of time, by clicking on THIS LINK.

Whether you're already serving or interested in joining a Ministry Team, we invite you to attend one of our two upcoming Ministry Trainings.

Choose the training date that works best for you, mark your calendar, and plan to join us!

On Sunday, August 23rd, during the Interlude and after the 11 am service, we’ll kick off the fall with our annual Ministry Fair. This is the perfect time to learn more about ways to serve and get involved at All Saints, in addition to reconnecting with old and new friends. During the potluck after the 11 am service, folks with last names A - L are asked to bring a side dish to share, last names M - R a beverage to share, and S - Z a dessert. (Two kind parishioners are bringing barbecue and buns!) Oh – and did we mention there will be a bounce house for the youngest saints of All Saints? We will need extra volunteers for the Ministry Fair, so if you are available to help with set up, tear down, or serving food, please contact Mariah Cody, mariah@allsaints-chd.org.

Take me out to the ball game! On Tuesday, August 11th , All Saints is headed to the minors. This is a reminder that the last day to request tickets for the Durham Bulls game is Thursday, July 16! The game is on Tuesday, August 11 at 6:45 pm, and the cost per ticket is $10.75. We would love for you to join us! You may request tickets for you and your family or friends here. 

We hope to see you there!

You are invited on August 9th to join us for our annual backpack blessing! On this day anyone who will be a student, teacher or faculty in the coming academic year can bring their backpack (or satchel, etc.) so that the Church can pray over them as they begin their new academic year. Whether you have a student who is beginning the first year of kindergarten or a professor at seminary, come let us celebrate your coming year!

We will host training in the sanctuary at 10:00am on July 26th and August 2nd. It is required for all volunteers--clergy and lay--to attend one training. 

The reason for this is that while most of you report feeling confident, your feedback suggests that varied ideas about how to assist with communion may be creating confusion on Sunday. 

During the training, we will run through where to stand, common Cup and intinction, cross-contamination, and miscellaneous questions. The second half of the training, we will do a run-through. If you can't attend, please connect with Mariah Cody when you are able. The hope is that these trainings can help us provide a worshipful and reverent space during the Eucharist on Sunday.

We will celebrate the resurrection of our Lord with joy, music, and a resounding chorus of alleluias on Easter morning. Join us for one of our two Easter Sunday services of Holy Communion and Baptisms at 8:30am and 11:00am.

We anticipate full services, so please plan to arrive early. Additional parking is available at our Church Office (4905 Pine Cone Drive, Durham). The Fellowship Hall will be prepared as an overflow space for latecomers.

You are invited to bring flowers or cuttings from your flowering trees to help adorn the cross. Place them in the buckets in the Narthex before the service. Children (and parents!) are warmly invited to join the clergy in the procession at both services as we flower the cross together.

Nursery care will be available during both services.

During the interlude between services, all are invited to our annual Easter potluck brunch. If you are able, please bring a dish to share—such as a breakfast casserole, fruit salad, or baked goods. If you would like to help with the brunch, please contact Joy McNeal.

The Easter Vigil is our sacred night of waiting and watching—the culmination of Lent and the first celebration of the Resurrection. In this ancient and beautiful liturgy, we trace the story of God’s saving love: from Creation, through the deliverance of Israel, and across the sweeping arc of Scripture that leads us to the life, death, and glorious resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Our service is rich with symbol and song—incense rising, Scripture proclaimed, prayers offered, and voices lifted together in praise. We will gather around the new fire on the Veranda to begin, then enter the darkened church by candlelight. Together we will baptize, renew our own baptismal vows, celebrate Holy Communion, and rejoice as we proclaim the resurrection of Christ.

Please plan to arrive a few minutes early as we begin outside around the fire pit. Bring bells—or simply your keys—to ring out the joyful “Alleluia!” as we welcome Easter morning.

Following the service, all are invited to a festive Vigil Reception featuring chocolate fondue and sparkling cider.

If you are able to help with the reception, please contact Joy McNeal.

Nursery care will be available during the service.

The Stations of the Cross—also known as The Way of the Cross—is a powerful and historic devotional practice that invites us to walk prayerfully through the final hours of Jesus’ journey to Golgotha. Through images, reflection, and embodied prayer, we mark each moment along the road to the cross.

This meaningful experience is open to all ages. A guided, child-friendly version of the Stations will be offered at 5:00pm, and a guided service with spoken liturgy will take place at 7:00pm. At all other times, the Stations may be experienced as a self-guided prayer journey—please feel free to come at any point.

The artwork for our Stations was created by one of our own parish artists, Janice Little.

On Good Friday, we gather at the foot of the cross to remember the depth of Christ’s love revealed in his suffering and death. In this solemn and prayerful service, we reflect on the mystery of the crucifixion and the costly grace poured out for the life of the world.

This brief liturgy will be held at noon. All are welcome to join us.

Nursery care will be available.

On Maundy Thursday, we remember and re-enact the Last Supper, when Jesus gathered with his disciples, broke bread, shared the cup, and knelt to wash their feet. On the night before his crucifixion, he gave them a new commandment: “Love one another as I have loved you.” In humble service and holy fellowship, we enter the mystery of that night together.

At 5:00pm, we offer a child-friendly service designed especially for families. This liturgy includes an instructive foot-washing experience and light snacks to follow.

At 7:00pm, we will gather for foot washing and the celebration of the Holy Eucharist. The service concludes with the solemn stripping of the altar, marking the beginning of Jesus’ betrayal, suffering, and death.

Nursery care will not be available for these services.

Tenebrae is Latin for “shadows” or “darkness.” This ancient liturgy of gradual darkening invites us to enter more deeply into the solemn mysteries of Holy Week. As we meditate on the Passion of Christ, we listen to Scripture, offer prayers, and extinguish candles one by one—marking the growing shadow of the cross.

Join us at 7:30pm, just before sunset, for this moving and reflective service as we prepare our hearts for the days to come.

On Palm Sunday, we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem and the beginning of Holy Week. Weather permitting, we will gather outside on the Veranda at both the 8:30 am and 11:00 am services to begin with the Liturgy of the Palms, then process together into the Sanctuary.

Please plan to arrive a few minutes early. Palm branches will be distributed as you arrive and may be waved during the service. You are encouraged to take your palms home—perhaps weaving them into a cross—and to return them before Lent next year. They will be burned to create the ashes for our Ash Wednesday service.

At 10:00 am during our Interlude Hour, join us on the Veranda for bagels and coffee, and learn how to fold your palm into a cross.

Nursery and Sacred Play will be available at both services.

We will be holding three services on Ash Wednesday 2/18 as we begin our Holy Lent together. At 12PM there will be a spoken service. At 5 PM there will be a service directed toward children and families. At 7pm there will be a traditional Ash Wednesday service. Ashes will be imposed at each service.
