From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
Our Easter Confirmations
(My church email is not working! Please use iainbaxter.mail@gmail.com to contact me!)
Dear Friends,
We have a busy and exciting Sunday ahead! Firstly we will see Danni confirmed in our Trinity Sunday service, then we’ll say farewell to Father Peter over coffee and cake, then we’ll be marching in the Chiang Mai Pride Parade! This is what it means to be a living church: worship, and witness and service to the world!
It will be wonderful to see yet another confirmation at All Saints, but sad to say goodbye to Father Peter.
Clergy and Acolytes on Easter Sunday
As well as marching in the Chiang Mai Pride Parade, All Saints will also have a booth at the Thapae Gate. We will probably be the only church there, the only one not afraid to say “God loves you – just as you are!” We are not the only Christians who believe this in the city, but many are afraid to speak publicly for fear of offending more conservative brothers and sisters, and so fail to reach out to other of God’s children!
Join us if you can this Sunday as we march to proclaim God’s love for all!
The readings for this Trinity Sunday will be from Isaiah 6:1-8, Romans 8:12-17, and John 3:1-17, and we will be singing the hymns Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty; Make Me a Channel of your Peace; Mothering God; and Tell Out My Soul!
