“Always be ready to make your defense to anyone who demands from you an account of the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and reverence.” 1 Peter 3:15–16a

In the 131+ years since All Saints Church’s founding in Bay Head on the iconic New Jersey Shore, its members have journeyed on smooth seas and weathered storms, both metaphorical and real.

Nearly eight years after surviving Superstorm Sandy, which nearly destroyed our church building and irreparably damaged the rectory, we are again sailing on uncharted seas. We have been buffeted but not overwhelmed by the COVID-19 pandemic, an economic downturn and cultural and political uncertainties.

Our building may be closed out of an abundance of caution, but our church is open. We gather every Sunday morning at 10:15 for worship via Zoom (look to your right on this page for the information on how to join us). We continue, within the constraints necessitated by the coronavirus’ spread, to baptize babies and to help families say good-bye to loved ones. We pray for our families and friends, for those who work to keep us safe, for our nation and the world, and for ourselves. We turn outward and find ways to help others in our communities and around the world.

We live in hope because of our faith in Jesus and his promises. He has invited us to travel with him along the Way of Love and build the beloved community that is open to all. No matter who you are and where you are on your own journey, we welcome you and offer you our companionship on the way.

the Rev. Mary Frances Schjonberg, D.D.

Christmas Gifts for St. Gregory's Pantry

November 2020

Santa is still coming to St. Mary's-by-the-Sea but this year St. Mary's is asking for gift cards only so families can purchase the gifts they choose for their children. Please purchase one or more gift cards from stores like Target, Walmart, Kohl's or CVS; or from your favorite book or toy store. Bring the gift cards to the Atlantic Avenue entrance of St. Mary's between 10 a.m. and 12 noon, through Friday, December 11th. You can also mail the cards to St. Mary's at 804 Bay Ave., Point Pleasant Beach, NJ 08742.

Flowers and Light

June 2020

**To the glory of God** Even though we are not worshipping in the building, the sanctuary light is still burning to indicate that consecrated Eucharistic elements are present. You may still sponsor the light. And, while we are not purchasing flowers for the altar each week, you are invited to contribute to a virtual altar flower fund. The suggested donation for the sanctuary candle is $10.00, and $20.00 for virtual altar flowers. You can make your donation via eGiving or by sending a check to the Altar Guild at the church.

eGiving

June 2020

We're pleased to announce that eGiving is now active on our website. It is a tab on the upper right of the front page that when clicked will give a drop down menu to walk you through the transaction using a credit card. It is a very simple procedure similar to making other charitable donations online.
