Reworked Into a New Vessel
"Reworked Into a New Vessel"
Sermon by The Rev. Ed Bacon
September 7, 2025
I knew that my true identity was a universalist, that God is inside me and me inside God, and life can be about duty or love, and the energy of love is a million times stronger than the energy of duty. Let go of everything that’s not beloved, consent to the reworking of the clay of your life on the potter’s field, and All Saints, Homewood Birmingham is known as the place where I know God is inside me and I’m inside God.

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!
