Opportunity for Solidarity

Gulf Coast-wide Prayer Vigil Monday, February 2, 2026 at 6 pm

On Monday, February 2nd (the Feast of the Presentation/“Candlemas”) at 6:00 p.m., Bishop Russell Kendrick is inviting the people of our diocese to a diocesan-wide prayer vigil. To that end, All Saints will host an in-person vigil in the church at that time.

If you can’t attend the in-person vigil at the church, you can join the online vigil with the diocese by going to the diocesan website and looking at the header that says “Join us for an online prayer vigil Monday, February 2, 6 p.m. CT.” The first link is Russell+’s video invitation to prayer; the second link is for Zoom, to connect to the vigil itself [note: if you haven’t done a Zoom in a while it is recommended that you open the Zoom app on your device and see if it runs any updates; that way you won’t miss the vigil]. The third link is a PDF file that you can view online, download, or print, of the order of service for the vigil.

PLEASE JOIN US FOR A SPECIAL CELEBRATION!

"Revive the Village" with Stand Up Mobile

Five years ago, in the aftermath of the January 6th insurrection in Washington, two friends decided to stop watching from the sidelines. That moment sparked the beginning of Stand Up Mobile, a nonpartisan, Black-led grassroots organization grounded in civic education, voter engagement, and community power. As a celebration of these five years, our friends at Stand Up Mobile are hosting a “Revive the Village” event, featuring inspiring voices, local performers, and a keynote address by nationally recognized civil rights leader and racial justice advocate Maya Wiley. It will be held on Friday, January 9, from 5:30 to 7 PM, at the historic Central High Auditorium at the Pathway School. Please click on the link below for more details, to learn more about Maya Wiley, and to reserve a spot for yourself and your friends.
