All Saints', Sandy Hill: Students

"It is Written"...
is a self-directed at-home bible study program that
is being run by our neighbouring church, St. Thomas.
It focuses on the Gospel for each Sunday.

Through Lent, each week’s material will be available
on the St. Thomas website stthomasaltavista.ca .

Suitable for everyone, teens and older, it can be used
by individuals, families, small groups or other settings .

Three prepatory documents are available:
What is the Bible?
Which Translation Should I Study?
What is the Lectionary?

and with each week, a new study document:
Week 1 Week 2 Week 3
Week 4 Week 5

Students all...
At All Saints' we study ... the big questions of life.
As Anglicans, we try to balance three resources: scripture, tradition and new knowledge. Big questions find answers that are both comforting and challenging, in directions often neglected by secular society.
Everyone is welcomed into our fellowship to worship and to study with us—at any level— as we explore scripture, tradition and new knowledge.

Music:
This autumn, our music director, Nicholas Piper, and the All Saints' choirs will warmly welcome you as a student of music at any level, should you wish to join the music program. They practice weekly and lead the congregation at Sunday services from September through June, with music to the glory of God.
September, 2011: the choirs of All Saints' Sandy Hill begin another exciting season of choral music.
Traditionally, two ensembles rehearse each Thursday evening in the Main Church.
From 7:00-8:00 p.m., the ASSH Vocal Ensemble prepares for musical events, such as our annual Advent service of Lessons and Carols, Lent and Easter services. This group is open to any and all choristers, regardless of past experience!
From 8:10-9:00 p.m., the ASSH Senior Choir prepares service music for the following Sunday morning. Once again, this ensemble is open to all.
We ask you to pass this information to friends, family, etc. who might be interested in joining our choral community! We experience a wide variety of musical genres, and prepare works from the Renaissance to contemporary periods.
If you'd like to be involved in either of these ensembles, please contact Sara:
by email to the church, or phone: 613-234-1686 ext. 224
