From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
What do we need to do?
(My church email is not working! Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)
Dear Friends,
Spring is a time for spring cleaning – and in the northern hemisphere Spring is about to begin! In this week’s Gospel reading we read of Jesus cleansing the Temple – a practical and metaphorical driving out of corruption!
What do we need to cleanse from our lives? What thing really needs to go? And what about our church, what needs overhauling in the way we worship or how we interact with one another? All these questions may be addressed this Sunday at All Saints!
The readings this week will be Exodus 20:1-17, 1 Corinthians 1:18-25, and John 2:13-22, and we will be singing the hymns Awake, My Soul, and with the Sun; Make Me a Channel of your Peace; Lord Jesus Christ; and Lift High the Cross!

Last Week’s Service
Video of last week’s service is now available here!
Recording of Services
Each week we record the service so that we can make a video of the sermon available. On special services we produce a video of the whole service.
It is quite understandable that, for various reasons, some people do not wish to be recorded or have their image shared on the church website, Facebook page, or weekly church email. If you are one of those people who prefer not to be recorded, please sit on the back row of the church or down the side behind the organ. This will ensure you remain out of shot. People sitting in these seats will also not be shown when they come up to the altar to receive communion.
Please let me know if you have any questions.
Annah & Annesh’s Last Sunday
Last Sunday was Annah and Annesh’s last Sunday at All Saints before they move to Mongolia. We had an opportunity to give them God’s blessing and say goodbye after church!
Chili Night continues next week!
Every Tuesday everyone in Chiang Mai is invited to Chili Night in the Vicarage. Chili con Carne, rice, chips, ice-cream, and drinks are provided. Just come along! (But let Father Iain know in advance if you can!) All are welcome. Food is served at 6 p.m.
Weekly Offering to All Saints
You can still donate in person or online. Thank you for your support and love for All Saints and all we are trying to do together. God has shown that he is mighty and we are in his hands!
God bless you,
Father Iain
