Resources for Your Life’s Journey at All Saints’
As a Christian community, we’re called to take care of each other to the very best of our abilities…and it turns out we have some pretty extensive abilities!
Our congregation is full of people with special skills and experience they want to make available to others through All Saints’ Cares and our Pastoral Care Team.
The resources below are all about comprehensively caring for each other and we urge you to ask for our help – for you or for others.
We are delighted to make All Saints’ Cares and our Pastoral Care Team available to you.
Life-Stage Planning
Resources for every member of All Saints’ to be prepared for what might be.
Life-stage planning resource team members offer both resources and counsel for the preparation of important documents, advance directives, planning your funeral, and offering advice in deciphering medical jargon.
Pastoral Care Resources
Eucharistic Visitors
Are you sick or shut-in due to illness, mobility issues, pregnancy or recent birth?
Eucharistic Visitors at All Saints’ will bring you communion, along with a copy of Sunday’s sermon and service leaflet. Reach out if you’d like to arrange for a eucharistic visitor.
Chaplaincy Ministry
This is an extension of All Saints’ pastoral care ministry available at Cedars-Sinai Hospital.
If you ever find yourself in hospital at Cedars-Sinai, make sure you indicate that you’re an Episcopalian. One of our All Saints’ chaplains will likely be available to visit and pray with you.
If you are hospitalized elsewhere, please let us know by emailing us, so we can arrange to visit you and pray for you.
Visiting Ministry
This ministry offers a way to connect with All Saints’ and the Episcopal Church when you’re confined to home.
Our visiting ministry is comprised of trained lay pastors who provide one-on-one care for individuals who request support. The confidential care-giver and care-receiver relationship, usually conducted by regular visits, may continue long-term. Email us if you’d like to know more about visiting ministry.
Calling and Card Ministry
This is a ministry that serves you when you’re homebound and suffering from long-term illness.
All Saints’ Calling and Card Ministry at All Saints’ reaches out to you with greetings via letters, cards and phone calls. Are you homebound and desiring of a phone conversation? Do you know someone who would appreciate a note of support via mail? You’re invited to share your need with us.
Prayer List
At almost every worship service, we pray as a community for those who have asked for our prayers.
If you would like to be included or if you know of anyone you wish to be included in the Prayer List, please contact us.
Prayer Team Ministry
Are you in need of prayers of intercession and healing?
The Prayer Team at All Saints’ prays with you when you desire intercession or healing. Members of the Team are available every Sunday following the 10:00 a.m. service in the Memorial Chapel (the Santa Monica Blvd. side of the main sanctuary).
SAGES
This is the All Saints’ ministry that offers seniors community, education and fun.
If you’re a senior looking for opportunities to connect at All Saints’, SAGES is the answer. It’s a great way to enjoy the fellowship, care, and support of a very important community at All Saints’. SAGES luncheons are every other Thursday.
Advocacy Resources
We are blessed with many parishioners who have both extensive and quite specific life experience they want to make available to you.
If you’re facing a particular challenge in your life, please contact us to find out if there’s someone with appropriate experience that will be an advocate for you.
Bereavement Ministry
This is a ministry to those facing the end of life, and to their loved ones – from the time of death, through the funeral, and during the process of grieving.
Our Bereavement Team provides a pastoral presence to families and friends of the departed at each funeral and memorial service at All Saints’.
