Our Church: Not Empty, but Filled to Overflowing

Since 1901, the buildings of All Saints have been a place of worship, of solace, and of comfort. We have gathered together to sing and praise, grieve our losses and celebrate new beginnings, new life, and new ministries. We have been roundly supported in our spiritual life while basking in the love of our fellow parishioners, and our buildings have embraced us through all the chapters of our lives.

In March, when we were asked to “Stay Home, Stay Safe” in an effort to not overwhelm our medical community during the pandemic, our parking lot became deserted and our Nave sat empty while we learned to gather online for services and coffee hour, for Godly Play and Vestry meetings.

But recently, during this pandemic, we have been called to increase our outreach to our vulnerable neighbors, and our building has evolved to a new purpose. We at All Saints have been called to step into the vast need that has been intensified by the pandemic, and the church building has accommodated that calling.

  • The Parish Hall is now a staging area for boxed lunches and "snacks for later" as we have pivoted our Hot Meals program to allow guests as well as hosts to stay safe while continuing to feed those who are hungry.
  • The Narthex has become the "Sanitation Station" where goods from the St. Francis Closet such as razors, soap, hand sanitizer, toilet paper, masks, shampoo and deodorant can be given to those lacking in those basic essentials.
  • The Nave has become a grocery warehouse, filled with bags and boxes of rice, beans, pasta, canned goods, dried fruit, breads, and more. The pews now serve as shelving, holding the abundance given by the Oregon Food Bank, New Seasons, Safeway, and our generous All Saints family.
  • The Parking Lot is now the Woodstock Cupboard, a "Pop-up Drive-thru" food pantry where neighbors can come get a couple of bags of pantry items every Friday and Saturday.

For so many years, we have come to All Saints to be nurtured and nourished. But now we are realizing anew how this building isn't the Church. We are the Church. We are the Saints of All Saints.

Worship happens when we nurture and nourish each other. Our calling is fulfilled when we care for our neighbors. Our hearts are filled again and again when we give back what we have received here within the walls of All Saints. God's blessings overflow from our hearts and from 4033 SE Woodstock Blvd. And that is beautiful.


* Groceries available for pick up at All Saints every Friday from 1:30 to 3:00 and Saturdays from 11:30 to 2:00. If you or anyone you know is struggling with food insecurity, please know that we are here to help as much as we can. Email [email protected] for more information.

Welcome Who We Are Online Worship

Welcome to All Saints – we are a community desiring to transform our lives through following Christ’s healing example of gentleness, humility, compassion, forgiveness, and peace toward all. If you are visiting Portland or if you are looking for a church home with an active intergenerational community, All Saints is a church where you will find a place of quiet reflection, or joyous celebration and fellowship. No matter where you are on your journey of faith, you will find there is a place for you here—just come as you are.

The Rev. Andria Skornik, Rector

The purpose of All Saints Church is to celebrate God’s love, to seek and to serve Christ in all persons, and to go forth into the world rejoicing in the power of the Spirit. Your presence is a blessing regardless of your background, sexual orientation, gender identity, race or ethnicity, age or family structure, abilities or limitations or wherever you are in life’s journey.

All Saints Episcopal Church is a Believe Out Loud Congregation. Click here this link for more information.

Until we can gather in person, we will gather together for Online Worship

We cannot face large-scale crises as individuals; we cannot carry the pain of this reality on our own, nor can we only look out for ourselves. The pain is communal and so too must be the response.
~ Richard Rohr
