This will be an ongoing discussion as we strive to be loving and engaged with one another. Rest assured, the music department of All Saints Church remains steadfast in our commitment to providing beautiful, impactful and transformative music in a variety of musical expressions, continuing to act as ambassadors of All Saints' message of peace and justice to all people.
