All Saints Gazette: What a year!
Greetings from All Saints Amsterdam!
We have two last events before we take a pause for the rest of the summer.
Thursday, Pride Talk 2024 at Nieuwe Kirk (Mpho is the speaker), 20:00—link below
Sunday, Worship at Vrijburg, 17:30
As many of you already know, I (Kyle) fell last week and have a pretty nasty case of whiplash. It’s expected to resolve on its own, but I’m operating at reduced capacity at the moment. In particular, I start to get a headache after a few minutes of looking at computer and phone screens. The Devil isn’t going to take my joy, but you’ll excuse me for keeping this newsletter uncharacteristically brief. Y’all know that in my prayers, I’m gushing passionately about you to our awesome God who has done a wonderful thing with this community in our first year of official existence!
Pride Talk 2024
Mpho will be giving the annual Pride Talk at the Nieuwe Kerk on Thursday at 20:00 (doors open at 19:30). This will take the place of our Thursday night Bible study and prayer lab this week. The event is free, but you are supposed to register. See the link.
Worship on Sunday!
Worship at 17:30 on Sunday will be our last gathering until the of August. If you’re able, bring a dish to share afterward (consideration of common dietary restrictions appreciated where possible).

Gatherings Paused Until Sept. 1
You caught that, right? The WhatsApp group remains active, and we will be available by email (though perhaps a bit more intermittently). The newsletter will not go out every week, but let us know if there are things we should share! And put September 1 on your calendar!
That's all for today!
Want to talk to a priest? We want to talk to you too!
