Waking Down to the Divine Presence

Contemplative Outreach Birmingham, The Commission on Spirituality of the Episcopal Diocese of Alabama, and Metagem Institute will have “Waking Down to the Divine Presence”, Saturday, March 4, 2023, 9:00am – 3:00pm at St. Mary’s-On-The-Highlands Episcopal Church, Birmingham, AL. It will be led by The Rev. Mary Catherine Akamatsu


You’ve likely heard of spiritual awakenings, a waking up! What about a waking down? This waking down to the Divine Presence is another path or perhaps even the further path on the soul’s journey into God. Join us as we explore spiritual awakening in the concretized reality of everyday life. The 13th century Franciscan St. Bonaventure and the 19th century Carmelite St. Therese of Lisieux will be our spiritual guides. The day will be a mix of presentation, practice, and conversation.

Choir Camp

By bwallace • August 5, 2026
Blast Off with the Adult Choir! Come be a part of the New Generation of choir members!! We need you to step up and boldly go where so many great singers have gone before. Come to Choir Camp, come to a rehearsal, don that robe and grab a black folder, and sing to the Lord a new song! Talk to Melanie ( mcouch@allsaintsbhm.org ) or any Adult Choir member about giving it a try. Musicians of all skill levels are welcome. You are welcome even if singing in a choir would be a brave new world for you! Choir Camp is at Camp McDowell August 28-30 (the same weekend as the Parish Retreat). You can come for any part of the weekend to explore this final frontier. Wednesday rehearsals are 6:30-8:30 each week starting on September 2. Anyone is welcome to check it out!
