There’s no need to sign up for anything. Come by, ask questions, see what’s happening, and get to know more about the life of All Saints.

AI Workshop

Being Human in the Age of AI: Conversations with the Rev. Channing Smith — September 23 & 30

Artificial intelligence is rapidly becoming part of everyday life. But amid all the conversation about what AI can do, there is another set of questions worth asking: What does this technology mean for us as human beings? How might it change our relationships, our communities, and our sense of purpose? And what resources does faith offer as we navigate these changes?

Join the Rev. Channing Smith for Being Human in the Age of AI, two evenings of conversation at All Saints-by-the-Sea. Rather than approaching AI simply as a technology problem to be solved, Channing will invite us to consider it as a human and spiritual challenge—one that calls for thoughtful discernment about who we are and who we want to become.

Drawing on Scripture, theology, pastoral wisdom, and contemporary scholarship, the conversations will explore both the possibilities and disruptions accompanying AI, including questions of loneliness, empathy, human purpose, embodiment, and community. We’ll also consider what our faith tradition brings to this moment: moral imagination, the wisdom of the Holy Spirit, genuine human encounter, and the irreplaceable value of community.

You don’t need to know anything about AI to participate. Come curious, concerned, excited, skeptical—or some combination of all four. The goal is not to tell us what to think about AI, but to help us think together about what kind of relationship we want to have with it.

Wednesdays, September 23 & 30
6:30–8:30 p.m.
All Saints-by-the-Sea Episcopal Church | Sanctuary

All are welcome.

Click for details on the Jr. Chorister Program

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!
