From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
Palm Sunday Worship!
Dear Friends,
As we approach Good Friday and Easter, this week we mark Palm Sunday which is also Passion Sunday. Passion Sunday reminds us of the last day of Jesus’ life and last Saturday this was our focused as we created our Stations of the Cross.
In our Stations of the Cross event, members of All Saints presented and created works of art reminding us of that last 24 hours leading to Jesus’ death on the cross. As we give of our best, we remember all that God has done for us. You can see pictures of the art below, and hear about some of them in last week’s sermon. This Sunday we will once more remember the passion of Jesus.
The scripture readings for this Sunday will be Luke 19:28-40, Philippians 2:5-11, and Luke 23:1-24, and we will be singing the hymns Hosanna, Hosanna, Hosanna in the Highest; All Glory, Laud and Honour; Hosanna, Loud Hosanna; Above All; and Ride On! Ride On in Majesty!
Use this link to join on Zoom on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
Meeting ID: 548 801 501
Last Sunday’s Service!
Video of last Sunday’s service is available on the All Saints YouTube channel!
Stations of the Cross – Last Saturday!
Last Sunday we gathered for an Interactive Contemplative Stations of the Cross experience!
All were invited to create a representation of a key event leading to Jesus’ crucifixion through whatever media they preferred: drawing, knitting, painting, collage, anything visual.
The creations will be displayed on Sundays throughout the remainder of the Lenten season to prepare us for Good Friday and Easter Morning!
Earthquake Assistance – Still Time to Give!
All Saints has a long history of supporting those working with the people of Myanmar. Following the recent earthquake, an already dire situation has become even more desperate.
Last week we collected over THB 9,000 for Myanmar earthquake relief!
We are still collecting clothes for displaced people on either side of the Thai/Burmese border. We can also forward money to two churches we have links with – one in Tachileik and one in Mandalay, close to the epicentre of the quake.
You can still donate via the All Saints Foundation:
Bank: Kasikorn Bank
Account Name: All Saints Foundation
Account Number: 170-3-79007-7
SWIFT code: KASITHBK
Alternatively you can use the QR code for the church account in my name.
In both cases, please email our Foundation Administrator, Gai, on ratree4316@gmail.com to specify that your donation is for the Earthquake Appeal.
Clothes can also be left by the backdoor of All Saints.
Thanks for anything you can give.
