Sunday, January 21Featured Ministry:

Fiction Fun!Fiction Fun! is a monthly book group exploring what it means to live lives of faith by reading

and discussing contemporary and classic works of fiction. The group does more than read and

discuss works of fiction: we go that extra step best described by the poet Shelley: “The great secret of morals is love; or a going out of our nature, and an identification of ourselves with the beautiful which exists in thought, action, or person, not our own.”

Please visit our table on the lawn.

Fiction Fun! Reads ScoopFriday, Jan. 26, 7:00 p.m. in the Guild Room. The selection for January is Scoop, by Evelyn Waugh (1938), a novel included by the Modern Library in its list of the best hundred of the century. Scoop has sometimes been given the subtitle A Novel of Journalists. Its “pitiless realism” displays many of the prejudices of the 1930s, but its mockery of the commercial press and “fake news” is far from dated. Information = Amanda Perez, 626.583.2765 or aperez@allsaints-pas.org.

Facilitating a Small GroupThe Leadership Committee is presenting a session on facilitating a book group on Sunday, Jan. 28, from 12:30 – 2:00 p.m. in the Seminar Room. This training is open to all, but if you are planning on leading a Lenten book group or if you are signing up for one, this session will be especially timely for you. The focus will be on using inclusive language and listening skills in order to share deeply on what you’re reading. A light lunch will be provided, and a $10 donation to offset the cost of food is appreciat-ed, but not required. Register online here: https://tinyurl.com/ya6b9ugl. Information = Amanda Perez, aperez@allsaints-pas.org or 626.583.2765.

Prison Ministry Conference: Reimagining Justice in the Age of Mass IncarcerationMonday, Mar. 5 – Wednesday, Mar. 7. A conference sponsored by the Episcopal Diocese of Los Angeles and Prism Restorative Justice. Featured presenters are the Rev. Gregory J. Boyle, and Sister Helen Prejean. Mass incarceration ranks high among the

injustices of our day, splitting families and com-munities, perpetu-ating racism, and failing to deliver the very thing it promises: justice. What does true

justice look like in our current context? This con-ference will study that question from a multifaceted perspective, looking at diverse approaches to jus-tice. Prioritizing the voices of formerly incarcerated people, those working on the front lines, and those whose ideas challenge our preconceptions of what criminal justice looks like, this conference will bring new perspectives for those who have long been working against mass incarceration and for those new to the struggle. Information = Prism@ladiocese.org or visit our website at www.prismjustice.org.

Theatre Ministry Winter SeasonPirates of PenzanceFriday, Feb. 2, 8:00 p.m. at Pasadena Playhouse. (Only a few tickets left for Pirates!) Tickets are $45 and available at http://qrs.ly/cv64ri8. Toss your worries overboard and join playful pirates, dewy-eyed dam-sels, bumbling bobbies and one very stuffy modern Major General on stage. Bring your friends and family to experience the biggest beach party of the year – complete with guitars, beach balls, banjos and a tiki bar! Find your inner pirate as Chicago theater rebels The Hypocrites bring this brilliantly zany adaptation of the Gilbert and Sullivan classic musical to LA for the first time, and you won’t want to miss out on the fun!

The HothouseFriday, February 23, 8:00 p.m. at Antaeus Theatre in Glendale. Tickets are $30 and available at http://

qrs.ly/em64rk6. Harold Pinter’s The Hothouse tells a blisteringly funny story of a government-run institution

in which the wardens may be more mad than the patients. Filled with Pinter’s biting political commen-tary on the

perils of unchecked power, the battle for control results in absurdly comedic mayhem.

A Raisin in the SunFriday, March 2, 8:00 p.m. at A Noise Within. Tickets are $37 and available at http://qrs.ly/yc64rn2. An unexpected windfall offers a life-changing option for the Youngers, an African-Amer-ican family living in a cramped South Side Chicago apartment. Competing visions and high stakes threaten to tear apart a family already facing pre-civil rights America. Lorraine Hansberry’s seminal work (“A play that changed American theatre forever”—New York Times) remains a resonant story of hope, inspiration,

and the need to retain dignity in a harsh and changing world.

A Streetcar Named DesireFriday, March 23, 8:00 p.m. at Theatre @ Boston Court. Tickets are $25 and available at http://qrs.ly/z664ro2.This daring new production strips away decades of Southern gothic gauze to reveal striking themes of class, race, and gender—reinvigorating the classic that shocked audiences in its debut 70 years go. By placing the iconic 1940s-era Blanche within an entirely contemporary and multicultural environment, this 21st

century production highlights the timeless relevance of this play for our divided America. Information = Debbie Daniels, 626.583.2750 or ddaniels@allsaints-pas.org.
