Trinity Sunday! 

From Pastor Mark, All Saints Chiang Mai

Three in One!

Dear Friends,

This week we will explore the incredible Christian revelation that God is Parent, Child and Spirit.  Distinct yet unified.  A mystery for centuries of followers of Jesus Christ and most perplexing to those outside of Christianity.  

Join us for Trinity Sunday.  Let us examine the scriptures together this Sunday at 10:30 AM as we look at this fascinating concept.  

The readings for Trinity Sunday  will be from Isaiah 40:12-17; 27-31, 2 Corinthians 13:11-13, and Matthew 28:16-20, and we will be singing the hymns Holly, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!, Mothering God, Father, We Love You, Tell Out My Soul.

Chiang Mai Pride on May 24th
Another wonderful year of All Saints representing the Love of God at Chiang Mai Pride!  Thanks to all who did so much to order the T-Shirts and Stickers, be a friendly face at the booth and march with our banner.  Well Done! 

Still on Sabbatical – but back from England

Me, my brother Stephen, and Helga the Hymer Motorhome

Dear All,

I’d just like to say thank you to the people at All Saints for giving me the chance to have a sabbatical. The first one I’ve had in twelve years leading All Saints.  Mark is doing an excellent job for these three months. He is on a full stipend, whereas I have dropped down onto a half stipend for this period. 

My time in England enabled me to buy a motor home, which I’ll be using later in the year with Ratcha and my mum. More importantly it enabled me to reconnect with my brother and spend more time with him than I’ve spent in decades. It was a really good time to renew our relationship. 

Thanks again for this great opportunity.

Pentacost!

 
From Pastor Mark, All Saints Chiang Mai

The Fire of Pentacost

Dear Friends,

Last week Paddy exhorted us: “…a man with his hands raised in blessing, rising into heaven, while his disciples watch. And then — great joy. And then — back to the temple, praising God.’  After the miracle of resurrection, then the astounding ascension, what could possibly come next?  

Join us as Pentacost explodes upon the scene!  Let us examine the scriptures together this Sunday at 10:30 AM.  

The readings for Pentacost will be from Acts 2:1-21, I Corinthians 12:3-13, and John 20:19-23, and we will be singing the hymns Come Down O Love Divine, Spirit of God, Unseen As The Wind, O Breath of Life, O God of Burning, Cleansing Flame.

Ascension Sunday!

 From Pastor Mark, All Saints Chiang Mai

Going Up?

Dear Friends,

In Luke’s account in both the Gospel passage this week and his first chapter of Acts, we have the incredible story of Jesus ascending to heaven.  
Did Jesus really ascend to heaven in front of the disciples?  What does it mean for us to have a Risen and Ascended Lord of All?  Let us examine the scriptures together this Sunday at 10:30 AM.  

The readings for Ascension Sunday will be from Acts 1:1-11, Ephesians 1:15-23, and Luke 24:44-53, and we will be singing the hymns Hail The Day That Sees Him Rise, To God Be The Glory, King of Kings, Majesty, Love Divine, All Loves Excelling.

Last Week’s Pizza Potluck!




After church on Sunday we gorged ourselves on Adam and Sarah’s delicious pizza.  Wonderful time of stuffing ourselves with pizza and tantalizng conversations.

Father Iain in the United Kingdom 

From Father Iain:

As many of you will know, my partner, Ratcha, has been offered a place to study French at the Sorbonne, beginning in August. The cheapest way for me to spend some time with her and to travel around is to buy a camper van in Europe. I am doing this, and so last week I travelled to the UK. I shall be back in time for Chiang Mai Pride on the 24th of May. 

As you may appreciate, all the planning has taken a lot of my bandwidth over the last week, so I apologise if I haven’t been able to get back to you. I’ll try and catch up with emails and paperwork while I’m away.

My mum will not be coming this time, so please take care of her while I’m away.

Look forward to seeing you when I return.  Please pray that it all goes well and works out for the best. 

Iain
