About the Worship Stations:
Worship stations are designed for you to try out spiritual practices and help you cultivate connection to God in community in new and diverse ways. Use the QR code to learn more about each one.
Station 1: Visio Divina
Visio divina is a form of divine seeing in which we prayerfully invite God to speak to our hearts as we look at an image.
Station 2: Icon Gazing
We view an icon with the eye of the heart, allowing it to speak to us in words or wordlessly with a divine voice.
Station 3: Gratitude book
Spend some time thinking about what you are grateful for in this moment. Then record it in the All Saints book of gratitude.
Station 4: Generosity & Giving
Reflect on generosity in your life, pray and ask God to grow you in the ways you’ve been invited to be generous in life. Consider giving to All Saints Church.
Station 5: Prayer bowl
Write your prayer request on a piece of paper and add it to the bowl and select a paper or 2 from the bowl to pray for someone else.
Station 6: Liturgical Art Wall
We have an art wall for each liturgical season. “Ordinary time” (Pentecost through Advent) is the longest church season of the year.
It is a time for growth spiritually, personally and relationally. It is a time to dig deep and try new spiritual practices, prayers, and new ways of relating to God and to others. Express yourself as small or as large as you feel led, with the materials provided.

Welcome!
We are a Spirit-led community of people who seek to
embody the radical inclusivity and love of Jesus.
We are interdenominational and ecumenical.
We are liturgical, contemplative, creative, christo-centric,
social-justice rooted, queer-inclusive, and a theologically
progressive church. We value learning from the lives of the saints who came before us to teach us a better way to be the church and love the world for our unique time in history.
