I walked in to the church just after the Covid restrictions were lifted because I WANTED to go to…read morechurch. I was greeted warmly by the greeters. The second time I attended multiple people talked to me and the priests have had excellent sermons (especially Jude the current priest). Sometimes the music has more modern items than I prefer, but there is a nice mix of traditional and modern, with mostly excellent performances. They encourage participation, but are not pushy. I prefer liturgical services. This church with it's Episcopal bent, coupled with social consciousness is an excellent choice for anyone looking for more meaning and an actual community in the Menlo Park area. Check it out if you are interested in community or dissatisfied with another church in this area.

**************** REVIEW 426 ******************…read more I'm not Christian nor Catholic, I'm Buddhist in fact, but I've been coming to this church for over 10 years as a volunteer in their Sunday kitchen, cooking for the less fortunate ones. This wonderful church serves the homeless and low income families with a full meal 5 days a week. They join with InnVision and Hands on Bay Area organizations. A full meal consists of a salad, a savory main course, a starch dish, and a veggies dish, plus dessert! We are serving average of 80-120 people per Sunday, and we do offer second meal, when we have enough food donation! It's a beautiful church with open arms to all! Please come by to volunteer, we always need food donation and helpers!

It is an inclusive and diverse congregation where all are greeted and welcomed with genuine warmth and kindness. The services are thoughtful and grounding, offering relevant, down-to-earth, and inspiring messages that speak to everyday life. The music program is extraordinary which adds depth and complements the worship experience.  Beyond Sunday mornings, All Saints is a deeply engaged community that feels like family.
