All Saints Church — Bay Head

All Saints Church Welcomes You!

Welcome to All Saints Church located on the beautiful Jersey Shore—a blessed place to celebrate the Resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ.

The season of Lent is over. It’s time to celebrate! We give thanks to Almighty God for the gift of eternal life made available to us through the resurrection of our Savior Jesus Christ. Easter Day began this glorious fifty-day season of celebration. It is because of this miraculous event that we have the affirmation of God’s gift to us. It is through this miraculous event that Christianity began. Had Jesus remained in the tomb, our memory of Jesus would have been that of an inspirational preacher and teacher, a prophetic force in the history of humanity, and a charismatic religious leader not our Savior. However, because of his being raised from the dead, because of the empty tomb, our lives are changed.

With the completion of Lent, our schedule returns to include the study of Benedictine spirituality through the exploration of the Rule of Saint Benedict—a method by which we are encouraged to seek God in our day-to-day living. This group of faithful seekers is always ready to welcome new people into this experience. We come together on Wednesday evenings from Labor Day through Memorial Day with a brief Lenten hiatus making room for our Lenten education series. There is more information about this formative opportunity elsewhere on this website.

Our regular services on Sunday mornings include the celebration of the Holy Eucharist at 8:00 am & 10:15 am. These services are the standard fare in the Episcopal Church: Rite One at eight without music and Rite Two with music at ten fifteen. We have a new Music Coordinator, Stephen Pinel, who provides not only beautiful music through a magnificent pipe organ and splendid piano, but also through the direction of our highly accomplished choir. Stephen invites us to a new level of appreciation for some of the grandest church music you will ever hear. You will truly not want to miss a single Sunday morning at All Saints. Special music is the order of the day for Easter, Pentecost, Trinity Sunday, and all the Sundays in between.

It won’t be long until our worship service begins again on Saturday evenings during the summer months. From the Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend through the Saturday of Labor Day weekend, we gather in the church garden at 5:30 pm for a very casual celebration of the Holy Eucharist. We gather rain or shine—indoors if the weather is unpleasant.

All Saints Church has been the beacon of the Episcopal Church in Bay Head for nearly one hundred thirty years! We invite each and every one visiting this site located in cyberspace to also stop by in person. The entire Jersey Shore is clearly a spectacular destination any time of year and you’ll find plenty to do and see while here. We hope one of those experiences will be to stop by All Saints Church for some spiritual renewal and reflection.

There is no ‘dress code’ at All Saints. People find the comfort that suits them best from casual and informal to more dressy. So, drop by.

As the weather warms during the spring season, the visible activity in Bay Head takes on a new set of optics. There are more people out enjoying the beautiful weather, the magnificent floral scenes, and, of course, the spectacular beach. All of this awaits you. We are hoping to see you soon!

Faithfully,
Robert
