Choose Your Own Adventure
"Choose Your Own Adventure"
Sermon by The Rev. Brad Landry
October 6, 2024
It should come as no surprise to us that we sometimes fail to be who we are created to be. But the love of God is not limited or dependent on us having to keeping it all together. And the love of God is not always about me, right? It is about being in relationship. Is there something that we deserve? We are in grace. The gospel of Jesus loves because God has created us to love. Whether it be illness, disease, or risk of death or divorce, there is pain and suffering in this life. But that is not all there is. As we choose new adventures of forgiveness and love, it's up to us.

Fiddlesticks Music hosted its largest single-day outreach event to date—a joyful Singalong Concert for families in our program and the wider community. Despite the rain, we gathered in the Great Hall, where 163 attendees filled the space with music, laughter, and connection. Families spread out on blankets, singing along to a live music concert designed especially for children ages 0–5. The atmosphere was electric with joy; parents, caregivers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and friends all joined in, creating a beautiful tapestry of voices and generations.The sense of community in the room was palpable. All ages and abilities were welcomed and celebrated. It was a moment of pure musical magic. Participants also had the opportunity to connect with staff and learn more about the All Saints Choir School and other All Saints programming for children and families. These conversations helped deepen relationships and open doors for continued musical and spiritual growth. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event so lovely and unforgettable. Here's to many more moments of shared music and joy!
