Reminders for Holy Week Services
Seating
Seating: With expectations of large crowds for Holy Week and Easter services, we ask that everyone please sit toward the middle of the rows and only occupy one seat per person. Please leave bags and other personal items on the floor under your seat. Overflow seating will be available on Easter Sunday, April 20 in the courtyard adjacent to the Interim Sanctuary with the sliding doors open.
Parking
All Saints has limited parking on campus. Our neighbors generously allow us to utilize some of their parking for special services. If there is no parking available in the parking lot, you may park in any of the following locations:
- Street parking along Terravista Drive or Rialto Boulevard. (with the exception of the roundabout at the west end of Rialto Blvd.).
- The parking lot across Terravista Drive.
- The underground parking garage across Terravista Drive is accessed from the south end of the surface lot.
- The parking lot at the corner of Southwest Parkway and Terravista Drive.
Livestream
All live-streamed are available on our YouTube channel or on our Livestream services page.
Childcare
Childcare for children 3 and under is available at all services. Please Note: There will be no Small Saints or Sunday School on Easter Sunday.
Bring A Flower On Easter Sunday
Throughout the season of Lent you may have noticed a simple wooden cross standing in our courtyard. On Easter Sunday, this cross will be filled with flowers to represent new resurrection life! We need your help to make this happen. Bring a flower (as many as you like) with you to worship that morning to add to the cross on your way in.
Palm Sunday, April 13
Palm Sunday is the entrance into what is known in the Church as "Holy Week." It is also often called "Passion Sunday." At All Saints, we use both and call it "Sunday of the Passion - Palm Sunday." One really needs both titles in order to describe the events we mark on this day. We mark the entrance of Jesus into Jerusalem with waving Palm branches, a celebration! But we also mark the entrance into Jerusalem as the final leg of his journey as he draws near to the cross, his passion. Join us on this day as the children lead us in worship with a Palm processional and as the color of the season changes from purple to red in preparation for all that is to come in Holy Week.
Maundy Thursday, April 17
The word "Maundy" comes from a Latin word "mandatum" that means "command." On this day in human history, Jesus said to his disciples: "A new command I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you are also to love one another." Jesus said this immediately after having shown them how they were to love... by washing their feet. It was also on this day that the Lord instituted the Eucharist meal by celebrating the Passover with his disciples and using it as a sign of what he would do on the next day, Good Friday.
If this is your first time at a service with foot washing, we've created a simple guide here for you to see how the process works.
Childcare is provided for 3s and under.

Good Friday, April 18
On the Friday prior to Easter, Good Friday, the Church traditionally marks the crucifixion, suffering, death, and burial of Jesus. Services on this day are a time of both somber reflection as well as preparation for the celebration of Easter morning. At All Saints, our service includes a dramatic reading of the passion narrative from the gospel of John, a brief homily, and a time of prayer. The congregation leaves in darkness and silence. Although Good Friday is marked by sadness and mourning, it is not without joy. We hope that those who gather on Friday and leave in darkness will return on Sunday in the light of the celebration of Easter and the resurrection.
Childcare is provided for 3s and under.
