Last Chance to Purchase Tickets for Theatre Ministry’s

First Show of the Season!Native Gardens, Fri., Sept. 21, 8:00 p.m., at

Pasadena Playhouse. Tickets are $40 and are only available at http://qrs.ly/l77i5b4. Good fences

don’t always make good neighbors, but they do make for great com-edy in this new play directed by Jason

Alexander (Seinfeld). An attorney on the rise and his very

pregnant wife couldn’t feel more welcomed by their new neigh-

bors. But when a friendly disagreement about the lay of the land escalates into a backyard brawl,

cultures collide and mudslinging ensues…literally. All tickets for Native Gardens must be

purchased by Sunday, Sept. 16. We will return to the Sign-Up Center on

Sunday, Sept. 23, and offer tickets for the rest of the fall season.

At All Saints Church we are committed to respecting the dignity of every human being – and that includes their gender identity/expres-sion. We practice that commitment by creating

welcoming and inclusive spaces – including restroom facilities that are physically accessible

(ADA compliant) and open to people of any gender, or “gender neutral,” as an important way to show full welcome and inclusion. Toward that

end, new signage will make that welcome explicit and direct those who desire them to the nearest

gender neutral facility.The changes that were made to the men’s rooms

a few months ago toward the goal of creating more gender neutral restroom spaces turned

out to be a well-intentioned but premature effort that failed to solve the issue we were striving to

address and created other problems. In response, the men’s rooms in Regas House were replumbed this week … with the upside benefit that the new

fixtures are more water efficient and environmentally friendly.

In the weeks ahead, the rector will be engaging both staff and ministry leaders here at All Saints, and transgender and non-binary persons at All

Saints and in the wider community to explore what it means for us to be maximally welcoming and

affirming of all God’s beloved human family.

Donations for Prison MinistryA reminder from the Prison Gift Ministry: While

donations of toiletries are always accepted, at this time, we are in urgent need of stationery, tea, and coffee singles. Donations can be dropped off at

the Main Lobby.
