From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
Another Baptism this Sunday
Dear Friends,
This Sunday I will have the joy of baptising Cassandra, a young woman who has been attending All Saints for the last few weeks and searching for God for a much longer period.
She will be signaling that she wants to follow the example of Jesus in her life – and that despite the negative example of some Christians she has encountered in the past.
Please join us on this joyous occasion.
This will also be the last Sunday that our intern, Clay, will be with us at All Saints, so we will be saying a fond farewell and thankyou! You can hear the sermon he preached last week via the link below.
Clay, Elsa, and Mark at Chiang Mai Pride
Our scripture readings for this Sunday will be from Genesis 18:20-32, Colossians 2:6-19, and Luke 11:1-13, and we will be singing the hymns Praise to the Lord, the Almighty; Oh Lord, Hear my Prayer; Seek Ye First; and What a Friend We Have in Jesus!
Use this link to join on Zoom on Sunday at 10:30 a.m.
Meeting ID: 548 801 501
Last Week’s Service!
Video of last Sunday’s service is available on the All Saints YouTube channel!
1946 Movie – Last Monday!
Last Monday we had a screening of “1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture,” a new documentary film that traces the origins of the Christian anti-gay movement back to a particularly consequential translation of the Bible in 1946.
It was a great evening with fantastic food before the movie and a great discussion afterwards where people were able to share their personal stories. Many church and non-church people attended.
Heartfelt thanks to Clay and Christa for organising this event.
Welcome Back Service & Potluck – 17th August
We will have a special “Welcome Back” service on Sunday 17th August as international schools begin the new school year. Our choir of children from the Youth Charity Foundation will be leading our worship and the service will be followed by a potluck lunch at the vicarage.
