Why All Saints, Chiang Mai?

From Rev Iain Baxter, All Saints Chiang Mai

 

Dear Friends,

As the Chiang Mai heat wave continued, last week Mark asked us why we come to All Saints?  Probably it wasn’t just to get out of the heat, but we may have a number of reasons why we choose to be counted among the congregation of All Saints.

Over the next few weeks, I would like people to complete a survey so that we can find out what it is that people like about our church.  Do you come for the theology, the liturgy, the music, or the fellowship?  It may be that you like all of them, or maybe you love the theology but put up with the hymns, or don’t agree with the preaching but come for the liturgy and the chance to receive communion.

We are not about to change what we believe, but we can adapt our two services so that we better serve those who attend and those we would like to welcome.  Watch this space for a link to our online survey in the coming weeks!

This Sunday’s readings are Acts 11:1-18, Revelation 21:1-6, and John 13:31-35, and we will be singing the hymns Holy Holy Holy, Called as Partners in Christ’s Service, Let Us Build a House, and All My Hope on God Is Founded.  The readings can be found via this link!

If you don’t know the way to All Saints, directions can be found on the Where and When page.

Most people get to hear about us via the internet or by word of mouth, so please feel free to pass on this email to others.  All are welcome to join us as we share the presence of the risen Jesus in our lives!  We hope to see you soon and that you will enjoy worshiping with us,

God bless,

Iain
