9:00 a.m. in the Forum: Off to the Oscars with Ken Turan
We welcome back our favorite film critic Ken Turan for his annual pre-Academy Awards look at
what's hot and what's not in recent film festivals and in the Oscar race. Before his April 2020 retirement,
Ken was film critic for the Los Angeles Times and National Public Radio's Morning Edition as
well as the director of the Los Angeles Times Book Prizes. He has been a staff writer for the Washington
Post as well as The Times' book review editor. A graduate of Swarthmore College and Columbia
University's Graduate School of Journalism, he teaches film reviewing and non-fiction writing at USC
– and we are so grateful to have him back with us to "talk movies" on Oscar Sunday. Bring your questions, and bring a friend!
Children's Chapel during the 10 a.m. service!
Kindergarten through 5th graders! Come one, come all and join us for Children's Chapel during the 10:00 a.m. service, where children will experience music, arts and crafts, meditations, storytelling, wiggly fun, spiritual practices for kids and so much more! Children's Chapel is a space for your child to build church community with children their own age, celebrate diverse cultures and explore who/what God means to them. Here at All Saints, we encourage children and youth to show up as their fully authentic selves every day, ask questions and love one other fiercely through modeling it for them, first, and through our weekly discussions! It is never a dull moment in Children's Chapel, so please join us! Parents are always welcome. Let's celebrate and connect! For information please contact Nina Scherer at nscherer@allsaints-pas.org.

This is "bible study" with a difference.

For in-person worship, our guiding principle remains to follow common sense risk reduction guidance for as long as we remain in a declared public health pandemic, so to keep our community safe and well, our in-person worship guidelines include:
- (as of 1/30/23) Because Los Angeles County, including Pasadena, currently have low levels of COVID-19, masks are recommended, but not required, for everyone indoors.
- Masks are optional outdoors.
- Both outdoor and indoor seating is available for services and communion will be served in both locations.
- Our expectation is that those entering the church will be vaccinated (if vaccination is available to them)
- Those who choose to be unvaccinated are requested to participate online.
- Those seated indoors are asked to maintain social distance between individuals/households.
- If we reach seating capacity in the church, ushers will guide you to alternative seating areas.
- We ask you not enter if you are experiencing any of the following symptoms: fever over 100.4°F or chills, cough, shortness of breath or difficulty breathing, fatigue, muscle or body aches, headache, new loss of taste or smell, sore throat, congestion or runny nose, nausea or vomiting, diarrhea, or if you have had contact in the last 14 days with someone diagnosed with or suspected to have COVID- 19.
