2025 Contemplative Service Series

The All Saints Contemplative Service Series provides a space for reflective prayer, beautiful liturgy, and meditative music. Here, you will sing music from communities like Taizé, Iona, and Cursillo, as well as be introduced to new prayers, texts, and songs. We will have moments of silence and of listening. There will be space for joy and grief. We will invite you to take time to breathe, listen, pray, and be still in the midst of the busy world outside. In the words of Brother John, a Taizé monk: “It is a time to rest in God, to let the words listened to and sung penetrate one’s being.” For more information about this service series, contact Maggie Gill at mgill@allsaintsbhm.org

Contemplative Service for Pride Month: Celebrating Diversity in God's Children

Wednesday, June 4, 2025 at 6:00pm



Join All Saints for this contemplative service to celebrate the LGBTQ+ community and the wonderful diversity in God’s family. With reflection, song, and prayers we will lift each other up and celebrate our calling to love others as Christ loved us.

This service included guest preacher the Rev. Dillon Greene.  Originally from Florence, AL, Dillon earned his Bachelor of Arts in Foreign Languages (French and Spanish) from the University of North Alabama (UNA). After majoring in French and Spanish, and after a personal journey through nondenominational, Baptist, Catholic, and finally Episcopal churches, Dillon sought out a chance for discernment about the general path his life would take. He became the Campus Program Assistant at the Canterbury House at Kansas State University (KSU) and served for two years. Though he didn’t begin with ordained ministry in mind, after one year of college ministry and a powerful experience staffing at the Diocese of Kansas’s Summer MegaCamp, he felt the call to ordained ministry and entered formal discernment. After three years of education at Virginia Theological Seminary (VTS), he was ordained to the Episcopal Priesthood in the Diocese of Kansas on January 8, 2022. He most recently served as the Curate for the Episcopal Churches of Wichita, Kansas, primarily at St. James and St. John’s and Associate Rector at St. Matthews Episcopal Church in Madison, Alabama.
