NELL SAYS THE JOB CONSTANTLY LEAVES HIM IN AWE. TODAY, DOZENS OF PEOPLE CELEBRATED EASTER SUNDAY IN ONE OF SACRAMENTO’S OLDEST CHURCHES. KCRA 3’S ERIN HEFT GIVES US A LOOK INSIDE THE ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH. EVER STEADFAST STANDING IN PLACE SINCE 1941, THIS IS THE 85TH EASTER SUNDAY CELEBRATED INSIDE THE WALLS OF THE ALL SAINTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH IN SACRAMENTO. HERE, PEOPLE GOING TO GO OUT THEIR WAY TO GET TO KNOW YOU AND TO TALK TO YOU AND GET TO KNOW EACH OTHER. WE HAVE A VERY CLOSE COMMUNITY. OUR TYPICAL SUNDAY ATTENDANCE IS AROUND 60 PEOPLE, AND WE ALL KNOW EACH OTHER AND HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR A LONG TIME. WELCOMING WORSHIPERS ON THIS HOLY WEEKEND. THE BUILDING, BUILT ON SUTTERVILLE ROAD PURPOSEFULLY TO CREATE A CONVENIENT LOCATION TO COME WORSHIP AS ONE ACROSS SACRAMENTO’S MANY NEIGHBORHOODS. OUR SON WAS BAPTIZED HERE, AND SO WE REALLY WANTED TO GET OUR DAUGHTER BAPTIZED HERE AS WELL. THE CONGREGATION, GROWING DECADE AFTER DECADE. AS THE BUILDING ITSELF APPROACHES THE CENTURY MARK. IT’S BEEN HERE SINCE THE 1940S. IT HAS A NICE STORY ABOUT PEOPLE REALLY WANTING TO MAKE THIS CHURCH HAPPEN. SO A LOT OF PEOPLE IN THE COMMUNITY JOIN FORCES AND DONATED MONEY AND TIME AND EFFORT TO BUILD THIS CHURCH AND TO MAKE IT THRIVE. IT’S HERE ON THIS EASTER SUNDAY. THAT BELIEF, LOVE AND COMMUNITY COMES TOGETHER, CREATING A SPACE WHERE THE PEOPLE OF SACRAMENTO CAN JOIN AND BE MET WHERE THEY ARE, NO MATTER THE CIRCUMSTANCES ON THEIR DIFFERENT WALKS OF LIFE. WE KNOW EACH OTHER. WE KNOW WHAT TRANSITIONS WE’RE GOING THROUGH IN OUR LIVES. RECENTLY, SEVERAL OF OUR PARISHIONERS JOINED THE LORD. SO WE WERE THERE FOR THE FAMILIES WE COULD BE IN. HAVING THE SERVICES. IT’S WONDERFUL BEING ABLE TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER REALLY DEEPLY AND ALL OF US KNOWING ALL OF US, AS OPPOSED TO SMALL GROUPS OF PEOPLE KNOWING EACH OTHER AND NOT REALLY KNOWING THE LARGER GROUP. IT’S DEFINITELY SPECIAL. IT’S GOT A TON O
