From Father Iain, All Saints Chiang Mai
The All Saints Choristers
Dear Friends,
This week we have a week of song – two concerts and two services!
First we have the Lannacapella Choir concert this Thursday afternoon. They will be singing at Thammapratheep Church at 2 p.m. and the concert should last around an hour.
Then on Saturday we have a special half-hour sung Eucharist for the Interfaith Pilgrimage organised by the Payap University Peacebuilding Department. This will be at All Saints at 12 noon and will be led by the All Saints Choristers.
Then later on Saturday afternoon, the All Saints Choristers will be performing at the AUA Theatre at 4 p.m. in an entertaining presentation of fun songs.
Finally, we have our regular Sunday morning worship at 10:30 a.m. on Sunday. This week, instead of using Zoom we are going to use YouTube Live. This should give better sound quality and easier access.
It should be a great week!
Our scripture readings this Sunday will be from Exodus 32:7-14, 1 Timothy 1:12-17, and Luke 15:1-10, and we will be singing the hymns The Lord’s My Shepherd (Crimond), Bless the Lord oh my soul, The Lord’s My Shepherd (Townsend), and The King of Love my Shepherd is!
Use this link to join our Sunday service on YouTube Live!
Last Week’s Service!
Video of last Sunday’s service is available on the All Saints YouTube channel!

Interfaith Walking Pilgrimage – This Saturday!
Interfaith Walking Pilgrimage – Saturday, September 13
The actual pilgrimage is full, but you can still join us at All Saints at midday.
We will dialogue with different faith leaders and representatives in Wat Ket area (Baha’i, Buddhist, Muslim, and Christian – including All Saints).
Our itinerary will begin at 9:00 am in front of First Church (Nawarat), where we will gather for a welcome and introduction. Inside the church, we will hear a presentation and join in a short Protestant prayer.
From there, we will walk to Masjid Altaqwa for a presentation and Muslim prayer. The journey will then take us to Green O’Clock Garden, where representatives of the Bahá’í Faith will invite us to sing and pray in their tradition. Around 11:30, we will pause for a vegetarian lunch together.
At noon, we will continue to All Saints to learn more about this community and share worship in their tradition. The walk will go on to Wat Ket, a Buddhist temple, before we cross the pedestrian bridge whose history is closely tied to the local Sikh community. We then hope to stop at a Chinese Shrine for an introduction to this tradition.
Our pilgrimage will return to First Church, closing the circle around 3:00 pm—perhaps a little earlier.
At All Saints we will have a short sung Eucharist at noon led by the All Saints Choristers from the Youth Charity Foundation. If you have not signed up for the pilgrimage, you can still join us at midday to share in sharing our worship with others.
