Collect for Koinonia
God of all creation, fill us with a passion for justice and dignity for each neighbor in our community. Guide and support us through Koinonia to follow Your example and Your command: to do justice, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with You. Transform us, through Your Spirit, to become conduits of your love and compassion, in all that we do, so we become reconciled to You and Your creation. In the name of the Triune God. Amen

As part of our learning and discerning process, the Koinonia Committee has invited community leaders to educate All Saints’ about the needs and challenges in our broader community. Each Sunday at 10 AM, speakers will share for 20-25 minutes, then provide time for questions. In order to reach as many parishioners as possible, we are offering Koinonia presentations in-person, via Zoom, and live-streamed on Facebook and YouTube.
