Prepare for the laugh-out-loud sections as Bogyo recounts the beloved foibles of his subjects and then, in perfect balance, throws in an anecdote or two sure to draw a tear.
Doggos who Bogyo profiles in the book -- several of whom will get the spotlight on February 21 -- include Bandy Nauta, "a self-conscious Husky (among other things)," Tigger Knapp, "a VERY bad golden Lab," Sandy Parsons-Cone, "a free-spirited Welsh Corgi (mostly)" Molly Maulo, the brown and white English Springer Spaniel who Bogyo reports "disdained characterless tap water and much-preferred drinking straight from the toilet."
“A Dog’s Life,” is filled with appreciation and tribute for wonderful creatures whose eccentricities and loveable imperfections touch us, make us laugh, move us, and fill us with love.
Meet Peter Bogyo and his gallery of memorable dogs on Perfect Paws Zoom, Sunday, February 21 at 4:15 p.m. The ministry's monthly service follows immediately after, at 5 p.m. All are welcome.

From The Rev. Marya DeCarlen
We are living in uncertain times and fear can consume us. Many of us may not know what to do beyond engaging in safe behaviors for our own families.
Our faith commends us to to put our trust in God and be on the Way of Love toward God’s mission of reconciliation in the face of illness.
Now is the time for us to be the church that God wants us and needs us to be. Let us pray together, as we discern how we are called to use “resurrection hope” and embrace others with JOY!
Prayer for a Pandemic
May we who are merely inconvenienced
Remember those whose lives are at stake.
May we who have no risk factors
Remember those most vulnerable.
May we who have the luxury of working from home
Remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.
May we who have the flexibility to care for our children when their schools close
Remember those who have no options.
May we who have to cancel our trips
Remember those that have no safe place
to go.
May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market
Remember those who have no margin
at all.
May we who settle in for a quarantine
at home
Remember those who have no home.
As fear grips our country,
let us choose love.
During this time when we cannot physically wrap our arms around
each other,
Let us yet find ways to be the loving embrace of God to our neighbors.
AMEN
--by Cameron Bellm
Blessings to you all, Marya+

Night prayers from our Seminarian, Brett Johnson. You can follow along in the Book of Common Prayer, page 127.
Also known as Complin, Night Prayer, or the Prayers at the End of the Day, Compline is the final church service (or office) of the day in the Christian tradition of canonical hours. The English word compline is derived from the Latin completorium, as Compline is the completion of the working day.
The word was first used in this sense about the beginning of the 6th century by St. Benedict. Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, Anglican, Lutheran, and certain other Christian denominations with liturgical traditions prescribe Compline services.
Compline tends to be a contemplative Office that emphasizes spiritual peace. In many monasteries it is the custom to begin the "Great Silence" after Compline, during which the whole community, including guests, observes silence throughout the night until the morning service the next day.
All Saints invites you to a virtual Coffee Hour each Tuesday, at 10 a.m. To join the Zoom Coffee Hour go to:

I am excited for the vision and opportunity we have to re-imagine “church” and “pastoral care” in this new age. We can connect in deeper, intentional ways that will change our experience of God and each other . — Brett Johnson, seminarian

Homilies are reflections following the particular scriptural readings heard at a given service that explain their practical and moral implications. Often tinged with humor, personal life stories and references to today's world, the homilies of The Rev. Marya DeCarlen, our rector, and The Rev. Jim Chapman, our deacon, provide the congregation with a welcome way of "connecting the dots" and growing in understanding of their faith.
More than 40 different ministries stand ready to engage your heart and nourish your soul. From our Feeding and Prayer Shawl Knitting Ministries to our Church School, Worship Planning, Finance and Property Oversight to Perfect Paws Pet Ministry, Vacation Garden School, Hospitality, Newcomers and Special Events -- each offers exciting opportunities to dive deep into mission and service.
Walk with us in love and faith; share life's journey through the arc of life.
