Anxious People by Fredrik Backman. Led by Sarah. A book bag selection. Ten copies will be available at April’s meeting.
Our May book is a poignant comedy about a failed bank robber who accidentally takes a group of quirky strangers hostage during an apartment open house, only to vanish when police storm the scene. It is a heartwarming story about empathy, human connection, and modern anxieties.”
An instant #1 New York Times bestseller, the new novel from the author of A Man Called Ove is a “quirky, big-hearted novel….Wry, wise, and often laugh-out-loud funny, it’s a wholly original story that delivers pure pleasure” (People).
Salad is provided. Feel free to bring an addition to the salad or a snack for others to enjoy.

This evening the men will be welcomed, fed, and housed in our church facility. Our relationship with them is priceless.

Centering Prayer, a form of meditative prayer called the “prayer of the heart”, is rooted in the teachings of Jesus and of the Desert Fathers and Mothers of the early church. Through the practice of Centering Prayer we learn how to surrender to love, to abide in divine love, and to enjoy the numerous fruits of the practice: appreciation of silence and solitude, less susceptibility to stress, deeper reverence for the divine in and through nature, willingness and commitment to a life of reconciliation and peace, and longing for and realization of our full union with God, with humanity, and with all life forms on our planet. The practice of Centering Prayer encourages us to cultivate an open mind, heart, and will as we seek spiritual transformation in Christ.

Bach's St. John Passion
2026-04-25 18:45 - 20:45 | All Saints’ Church, 9th Ave & Dolores St, Carmel-by-the-Sea, CA, 93921, United States
Join us for J.S. Bach’s St. John Passion, performed by the Central Coast Chamber Choir (C4), the chamber ensemble of I Cantori di Carmel, under the direction of Daniel Henriks.
Soloists include Steven Caldicott Wilson (Evangelist), Morgan Balfour, Gabriela Estephanie Solís, and Matt Peterson, joined by a period-informed ensemble drawn from musicians across the Central Coast.
Presented in an intimate setting, this performance brings the work into close focus, where the story unfolds with directness, clarity, and presence.
Each evening begins with a pre-concert lecture at 6:45 PM by David Gordon, tenor and music historian widely regarded as one of the preeminent Evangelists of his generation. His insight offers a fun and compelling way into the dramatic and historical world of the piece.
Following the performance, audiences are invited to stay for a post-concert reception with the artists and ensemble, an opportunity to connect more directly with the musicians and the work.

Christine Falls by Benjamin Black (aka John Banville). Led by Gwynn.
Quirke is a surly pathologist living in 1950s Dublin. One night, after having a few drinks at a party, he returns to the morgue to find his brother-in-law tampering with the records on a young woman’s corpse. The next morning, when his hangover has worn off, Quirke reluctantly begins looking into the woman’s history. He discovers a plot that spans two continents, implicates the Catholic Church, and may just involve members of his own family. He is warned–first subtly, then with violence–to lay off, but Quirke is a stubborn man. The first novel in the Quirke series brings all the vividness and psychological insight of John Banville’s writing to the dark, menacing atmosphere of a first-class thriller.
Salad is provided. Feel free to bring an addition to the salad or a snack for others to enjoy.

During the Lenten Season we will continue to read, study and ponder Paul’s First Letter to the Corinthians. The mystery of Christ’s Cross and Resurrection and the Gift of the Holy Spirit are at the heart of Pauline theology and this is no less true of this letter than the others. This makes it appropriate reading for the seasons of Lent and Easter(or any season). All the baptized are incorporated into Christ and so daily we die with Him, we rise in Him to new life, life in the Holy Spirit of God.
