Worship at All Saints’

About our Worship


Worship is a priority at All Saints’. Through prayer and praise, story and song, we orient our lives towards love of God and neighbor. All our Sunday services center on the sacred meal of bread and wine known as Eucharist, or communion. In it we are nourished by Christ’s presence and sent forth to be his hands and feet.

Grounded in ancient tradition and the enduring poetry of The Book of Common Prayer, Episcopal worship is highly participatory and embodied. Through music and movement, art and beauty, we strive to make worship the feast that it is. In essence, we think worship is meant to celebrate the fullness of life, and we’ve saved you a seat!


People will come from east and west and north and south, and take their places at the feast in the kingdom of God.


About the Program

All Saints’ is blessed to have one of the Episcopal Church’s leading music programs. We raise our voices – and our hearts – in song. Our six choirs (ages 4 to 104), guest performers, the Music at All Saints’ and Jazz at All Saints’ Concert Series’, and our grand Kenan Memorial Organ enhance our worship with music’s gift of inspiration, comfort, and healing.

SUNDAY SERVICES


We have services every Sunday, suited to a variety of styles and schedules. 

Nursery is available at all morning services. Each service includes communion, and all everyone, including children, is invited to join in.  Our campus is ADA accessible, and individuals with special needs are always welcome. 

Our services follow the rhythms of the traditional church seasons and are guided by the Bible and Book of Common Prayer — a rich collection of prayers and readings for worship, shared by more than 80 million Christians in our tradition around the world.  We hope you’ll come and experience Sunday morning at All Saints’ soon. We look forward to meeting you!

IN THE CHURCH


The 9:00 & 11:15 a.m. Services

Our largest gatherings of the week, the 9:00 and 11:15 a.m. services follow the same order of worship (Rite II). At 60-70 minutes, these services feature timely preaching and timeless music, with pipe organ, congregational hymns, and anthems offered by our children’s, youth, and adult choirs. We are also are joined by guest jazz and classical instrumentalists for special occasions throughout the year.

The 9:00 service runs concurrent with Children’s Church for grades K – 3 and culminates each week with communion, when the kids rejoin their families to share in the celebration. Coffee and doughnuts are served in the courtyard throughout the morning and formation classes (Sunday School) for all ages takes place between the services from roughly 10:20-11:05 a.m.  

During summer months, we typically combine our 9:00 a.m. and 11:15 a.m. services into a single service at 10:00 a.m.

Rite I

Reverent, quiet, still

We kick-off Sunday mornings with our most traditional service (Rite I), held in the small chapel to the side of the main church.  There is no music at this brief 45-minute service, which includes a short message, classic Episcopal prayers, scripture readings, and communion.

The Welcome Table

Peaceful, prayerful, relaxed

We invite you to this re-imagined evening worship service in the chapel, where we experience God’s hospitality and love for the world. The service includes beautiful music from a variety of traditions, accompanied by piano and a solo instrumentalist. We share communion together, light candles as a symbol of our prayers, and enjoy a meal together afterwards.


Whoever you are, wherever you are on your journey, you are welcome at this table. 

The Welcome Table: Sunday Evening Worship Service and Dinner 

Before your busy week begins, the Welcome Table is a place to join with others and find rest and refreshment. Come to the Welcome Table: a re-imagined service with a jazz trio, singing, communion and prayer (together and in ways that speak to us individually). A community dinner for all participants follows the service. All are welcome.

The Welcome Table Jazz Combo is made up of the finest jazz musicians in Atlanta, who excel at bringing the jazz style into worship. Anchored by our own Rev. Andy Barnett at piano, saxophonist Will Scruggs, and bassist Kevin Smith, the group regularly features special guests, creating an intimate, unique, and communal jazz worship experience in the heart of Midtown Atlanta.
