A Final Note
To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven: A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted; A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up (Ecclesiastes 3:1-13).
After 20 years of Anglican Ministry in Amarillo, All Saints Anglican Church will say her last liturgy of Holy Communion on Trinity Sunday, June 7, 2009. Many thanks to those of you who prayed for us over the years. May God richly bless you for your kindness.

Welcome to the online site for All Saints Anglican Church. We're located in Amarillo, the heart of the Texas Panhandle. All Saints is a traditional Anglican parish, using the 1928 Book of Common Prayer.
Though secular culture is often unsettling, our church is rooted in Scripture, grounded in history, and anchored in Christ. Our services combine the best of Anglican tradition with a warm, family atmosphere and lively worship.
If you'd like to get an idea of what our services are like, click on the bulletin cover to the left. Using Adobe Acrobat Reader, you'll be able to open and view the bulletin for this week's service.
By God’s grace, All Saints Anglican Church will become a growing, self-sustaining parish, in a debt-free building that provides a place for worship, fellowship, pastoral care and evangelism.
The Message of All Saints
In the middle of the 4th century a man by the name of Aurelius Augustine wrote this short prayer that summarizes our purpose, “Thou hast made us for Thyself and our hearts are restless until they find rest in Thee.” That is why All Saints Reformed Episcopal Church exists – To help people understand they were made to love, worship and live in union with God.
We believe there’s one hour of the week unlike any other hour. It is Sunday’s corporate appointment with God, when we say with the Psalmist, “O God, thou art my God, I seek thee, my soul thirsts for thee; my flesh faints for thee, as in a dry and weary land where no water is.” (Psalm 63:1)
We’re convinced that the Gospel is the most exciting drama to ever stagger the mind of man. And each Sunday we say the ancient liturgy to reenact God’s Good News. Our hope is that the theology and wisdom of these extraordinary prayers, coupled with the pageantry of worship will nourish your faith and help you to treasure our Lord Jesus Christ.
Everyone is welcome at All Saints. The Bible affirms that we are all sinners in need of repentance, conversion and amendment of life. Hence, we open our arms to everyone and invite them to discover the transforming power of Jesus.
So, if you’re in search of a church where you can use your gifts to make Christ known, a church that’s rooted in Scripture, grounded in history and anchored in Christ, then we invite you to love and worship God with us.
