All Saints Episcopal Church - Sharon Chapel

04/06/2026

Holy Week at Sharon Chapel — from the solemnity of Holy Thursday to the joy of Easter morning. Thank you to everyone who gathered, prayed, and walked this journey together. In the middle of life’s noise, Holy Week reminded us again: there is always space to pause, to grieve, and to be made new. An extra special thanks to those who made it to St. Luke’s for Easter Vigil to welcome our newest Episcopalians to All Saints.

We will have two Ash Wednesday services on February 18 at 12:00 PM and 7:00 PM. We begin this holy season by acknowledging our need for repentance and our need for the love and forgiveness shown to us in Jesus Christ. We invite you, therefore, in the name of Christ, to observe the beginning of a Holy Lent, by self-examination, by prayer and fasting, by practicing works of love, and by reading and reflecting on God's Holy Word. We look forward to you joining our journey this season to spiritual renewal.

As we process the heavy news reaching us from Minneapolis and across the country, we are reminded that our call to follow Jesus often involves risk. Our faith is not practiced in a vacuum, but on the streets where justice and mercy are most needed. The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Virginia are calling us to transition from "watching with concern" to active witness.

Please read the following statements from Bishop Stevenson regarding the events in Minneapolis. Also included are specific ways you can advocate, mobilize, and give to support our siblings in Minnesota and immigrant communities facing fear today.

Dear Friends in Christ,

In solidarity with our siblings in Minnesota, the Diocese of Virginia stands firm in our shared call to love Jesus, embody justice, and be disciples.

Read Presiding Bishop Rowe’s Statement: Death and Despair Do Not Have the Last Word: episcopalchurch.org/publicaffairs/from-presiding-bishop-sean-rowe-death-and-despair-do-not-have-the-last-word/

As a Diocese we are committed to racial justice and the dignity of every human being. We refuse to let the light of our hope be shadowed by despair. We follow a Savior who was himself a refugee and who commands us to care for the “least of these.”

How you can act:
-Advocate: Urge your senators to reject further ICE funding and call for de-escalation.
-Mobilize: Support Migration with Dignity Sunday, and local peaceful demonstrations to protect our democracy.
-Give: Support the Diocese of Minnesota’s “subversive love” through donations to Casa Maria.

I will be releasing additional personal reflections soon. In this moment of reckoning, let us love.

Faithfully yours,
The Rt. Rev’d E. Mark Stevenson

1 woman, 7 brothers. Whose wife is she in the resurrection? 🤔

The Sadducees tried to trap Jesus with this riddle, but his answer changed everything.

In last Sunday’s sermon, we explore Jesus's brilliant reframe. The resurrection isn't just "life 2.0"—it's a transformed existence.

The ultimate truth? We don't belong to each other as objects. We all belong to God. 🙏

God is not the God of the past ("I WAS"), but the God of the eternal now ("I AM").
