Does your child love to sing? The All Saints Junior Choristers is a wonderful opportunity for young voices to learn music, build confidence, and take part in worship. Rehearsals will take place Sundays during coffee hour (right after the 10am service) and last about 30 minutes. The current season concluded on Pentecost Sunday, June 8, and a new schedule will be available later this summer.
Singers who commit to being a part of the chorus will learn and practice the fundamentals of choral singing in a supportive environment under the direction of All Saints’ Director of Music, Steven Thomson. In addition to his work at All Saints, Steven is a seasoned educator and serves as the Senior Choral Director of the Sing! program at the Music Academy of the West and as the Chorus Manager for The Santa Barbara Symphony. He is excited to bring this experience to the youth of All Saints! All registered singers will receive robes and cottas and will have opportunities to sing from the chancel for special services throughout the year.
All children ages 9-14 are welcome! (Exceptions for singers under age 9 may be considered on a case-by-case basis) Come be part of this joyful musical ministry.
For more details or to sign up, contact Steven Thomson (steven@asbts.org) We can’t wait to sing with you!

| Please join us on Monday, August 17th at 5:30 in the Parish House for our August Book Club and Potluck. We will be discussing Whistler, by Ann Patchett. Please bring a dish to share and the beverage of your choice. We welcome and encourage new attendees!
When Daphne Fuller and her husband Jonathan visit the Metropolitan Museum of Art, they notice an older, white-haired gentleman following them. The man turns out to be Eddie Triplett, her former stepfather, who had been married to her mother for a little more than a year when Daphne was nine. Now fifty-three, Daphne hasn’t seen Eddie for many years, not since the fateful event that changed the direction of both their lives. Meeting again, time falls away; while their relationship was brief, it had a profound impact on them both, and now that they are reunited, they have no intention of ever being separated again. Whistler is a story about two adults looking back over the choices they made, and the choices that were made for them. It’s a story about bravery, memory, the often small yet consequential moments that define our lives, and the endless stream of loss that in time comes for us all. Beautiful in its simplicity, it is ultimately about how love endures, and how the feeling of being known by one other person, even for a short period of time, can change everything. Also, a look ahead for September, we will be reading The Reason for God: Belief in an Age of Skepticism by Timothy Keller.
