EASTER Welcome.

All Souls is a church in and for the city, and exists to be a vibrant expression of who God is–– gracious, present, hospitable. How do I get p. 8 Launched in 2010, we are a worshipping community rooted in the belief connected? that the historic Christian gospel is true, compelling, and promises to change our lives powerfully, in the direction of freedom, wholeness, and hope. All Souls Kids p. 9 & Nursery We seek to embody and articulate this gospel of grace, bringing about spiritual, social, and cultural renewal in Seattle and, through it, the world.

How can I serve? p. 10 As a church, we are part of that historical, counter-cultural community that Jesus started and continues to build, sustain, and perfect. Home Groups p. 11 Anyone is welcome in worship, and we encourage you to come as you are. We understand that visiting a church for the first time can be intimidating. So it’s our commitment to walk you through each component of the worship service so no one feels like an outsider. There Giving as part of p. 12 will be no obscure, tribal language. No ‘in-house’ moments. our worship

Our worship is structured, with liturgy and rich music that connects us to the church of old and those who’ve gone before us––we are deeply rooted in something much larger than ourselves or our own cultural moment. But worship should be accessible and enjoyable if it’s to be meaningful.

You should always feel the freedom to participate actively in worship or to just listen and observe at your discretion. It is a time to process freely and safely the audacious claims of Jesus, and the inevitable tension between the beauty and scandal of the historic Christian gospel.

We haven’t heard the gospel for what it really is if we don’t find it at once horribly offensive and staggeringly beautiful. It is both heart-breaking and cover illustration heart-mending. by Scott Erickson

So let us explore. Let us worship.

All Souls Jesus came in the flesh not to bring the judgment, but to bear it.

In no other way could his kingdom come.

We will not die but live, and will proclaim what the LORD has done. Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; his love endures forever.

The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone; The LORD has done this; and it is marvelous in our eyes.

This is the day the LORD has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it. words: Romanos the Melodist, 563

scripture reading + interlude John 20:1-3, 10-18

1 Now on the first day of the week Mary Magdalene came to the tomb early, while it was still dark, and saw that the stone had been taken away from the tomb. 2 So she ran and went to Simon Peter and the other disciple, the one whom Jesus loved, and said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the tomb, and we do not know where they have laid him.” 3 So Peter went out with the other disciple, and they were going toward the tomb.

10 Then the disciples went back to their homes.

11 But Mary stood weeping outside the tomb, and as she wept she stooped to look into the tomb. 12 And she saw two angels in white, sitting where the body of Jesus had lain, It has been the practice one at the head and one at the feet. 13 They said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping?” of the church for She said to them, “They have taken away my Lord, and I do not know where they have thousands of years to laid him.” 14 Having said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing, but she did not have portions of the Bible read during know that it was Jesus. 15 Jesus said to her, “Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are worship. We do this you seeking?” Supposing him to be the gardener, she said to him, “Sir, if you have carried because we are people him away, tell me where you have laid him, and I will take him away.” 16 Jesus said to her, who need to be shaped “Mary.” She turned and said to him in Aramaic, “Rabboni!” (which means Teacher). by all of God’s Word. 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father; but go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father, to my Musical interludes are God and your God.’” 18 Mary Magdalene went and announced to the disciples, “I have included in our service in seen the Lord”—and that he had said these things to her. order to provide space for reflection and worship.

The peace of Christ be with you. And also with you. Amen.

4 praying the psalms Psalm 139:1-16 Praying through the Psalms teaches us how to pray, using the prayer book of ancient Israel, God’s people. O Lord, you have searched me and known me! You know when I sit down and when I rise up; you discern my thoughts from afar. You search out my path and my lying down and are acquainted with all my ways. Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether. You hem me in, behind and before, and lay your hand upon me.

Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high; I cannot attain it.

Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where shall I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there! If I make my bed in Sheol, you are there! If I take the wings of the morning and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea,

even there your hand shall lead me, and your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall cover me, and the light about me be night,”

even the darkness is not dark to you; the night is bright as the day, for darkness is as light with you.

For you formed my inward parts; you knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from you, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them. Amen.

We intend to draw them into an engaging, enjoyable, and provocative encounter with the gospel using language familiar to them. We encourage them to learn to ask good questions in the discovery of who they are and who God is, in the hope of building a foundation that shapes their lives for years to come!

Because worship is a celebration of grace, not a theological lecture, children of all ages are encouraged to join us at any time during the service–– we are used to having them around! We also offer a safe place for kids to be together during the service.

‣ Nursery (4mos-new walkers) and Toddlers (18mos-2 yrs): Both rooms are open through the entire worship service and are fully staffed by providers who are trained in First Aid/CPR. Little ones receive excellent care in a safe, peaceful space set up specifically for our babies and toddlers. Please sign your child in and out on the provided clip-board when you arrive and pick up. You will be contacted during worship, if needed.

‣ 3-year-olds, Pre-K (4-5 yrs), and Kindergarten: Children begin in worship, and are dismissed midway to these dynamic and fun classes. Kids will receive excellent care as they play, sing, read, do crafts, and have a nut-free snack. The Jesus Storybook Bible is our primary teaching tool. Please sign your child in and out on the provided clip-board when you drop-off and pick-up.

‣ 1st, 2nd Grade, and 3rd-5th Grade: Kids begin in worship and are dismissed midway to class where they will learn and discover in a language and style more suitable to young, growing hearts and minds. Our instruction is framed around a cyclical exploration of key Biblical truths and gospel realities. Students are dismissed by their teachers to rejoin their families after worship (except for the 4th-5th Grade Class, which rejoins their families before the Lord’s Supper).

9 How can I serve?

Never be lacking in zeal, but keep your spiritual fervor, serving the Lord. (Romans 12:11)

We are called to serve, not to be served. As Jesus came into the world to serve rather than to be served (Mark 10:42-45), our desire is that we as a church would regularly serve each other and also the under-resourced and marginalized of our neighborhood and city.

ALL SOULS COMMUNITY We value— and rely on!— a collaborative culture at All Souls. We’re not here to consume or spectate, but to lean in, take ownership, and serve, no matter what we bring to the table. We honor God with what he’s given us and seek to bless those around us, as a family, on Sundays and throughout the week. current needs / opportunities to serve:

‣ Sundays - As you might imagine, it takes many hands to turn a middle school into a warm, welcoming worship space. We need volunteers to help with set-up, greeting, coffee/snacks, and more. Contact: Charlotte Aljets ([email protected]).

‣ Make a Meal - As a way to tangibly serve one another in challenging or transitional seasons of life, we as a family make meals for each other. To make or request a meal, please contact [email protected]. Thank you!

NEIGHBORHOOD + CITY

Seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you. (Jeremiah 29:7)

As a church ‘not just for ourselves’, there are also lots of ways to serve and seek the well-being of our neighborhood and city through All Souls. We are primarily interested in connecting volunteers to vital service organizations already serving for the sake of renewal, mercy, and justice. current opportunities:

‣ West Seattle Young Life Young Life leaders go to where students are to develop relationships and to share the story and reality of God’s love for them in Jesus Christ. Below are current ways to partner and support this ministry, its staff, and volunteers (for details and sign up contact [email protected]).

• Provide dinner for Young Life Club (large group gatherings) • Become a ‘leader host’ who cares and prays for a volunteer leader, even inviting them into your home/family life

‣ Serve and Partner with the West Seattle DSHS Foster Care Office All Souls is actively building a relationship with the WA State Department of Social and Health Services’ Delridge office. Foster care is a pivotal place to intervene upstream of many other social concerns (homelessness, addictions, etc), and opportunities to support kids and families in the foster care system are varied (toy/clothing donations, DSHS staff appreciations, etc). Please opt-in via email to receive regular updates with needs as they arise ([email protected]).

• Office Moms & Dads is an on-call, daytime volunteer opportunity (customizable to your schedule!) to care for foster kids that have recently been removed from their home while a social worker works hard to find a foster care placement for them. Contact Janine Krebs ([email protected]) to learn more and to sign up for the next volunteer training.

‣ YoungLives All Souls is in the early stages of a partnership with YoungLives, the ministry of Young Life to teenage moms. Our hope is to begin to invest in life-on-life mentoring with teen moms in West Seattle through entering into their lives, building relationships with them and with their little ones, modeling the unconditional love of Christ, and encouraging them to become the women and mothers God created them to be. All levels of commitment are welcome! If you have questions about this ministry, or are interested in hearing more about partnering with YoungLives, contact Rachel at [email protected].

10 Home Groups

In a world that pushes us toward isolation, we need community— a place where we're known and loved, and can grow. Home groups are a vital part of shared life and growth in Christ— places of care and community where we discover and live the Christian life together. Simply put, they are the best way at All Souls to integrate as a newcomer, build lasting friendships, and to consistently be in each other’s lives. We are a community that places high value on this time together in God’s word and in prayer, and also serving our city and neighborhoods.

All are encouraged to prioritize Home Groups, most of which meet every other week, Sept - June. They can be joined by anyone at anytime, and aim to accommodate a variety of schedules, including those of families and commuters.

Groups meet every other week beginning January 7. To join or learn more about a group please contact the leader(s) directly. PLEASE NOTE: Group rosters are capped at 12 adults (plus kids). If a group is full, staff will help you find another option (groups@).
