Founded in 1876, All Saints’ Church has been a cornerstone of Jaipur’s Christian community. The church’s Gothic architecture, with its soaring spires and stained-glass windows, has not only served as a place of worship but also as a symbol of the city’s diverse cultural tapestry. Over the years, it has witnessed countless baptisms, weddings, and funerals, serving as a spiritual home for generations.

The sesquicentennial celebrations will span several months, featuring a blend of religious, cultural, and community activities designed to honor the church’s legacy and engage the broader community. Highlights include:

1. Thanksgiving Service: The anniversary will commence with a grand Thanksgiving Service, inviting congregants, former members, and dignitaries to gather in worship and reflection. Special prayers and hymns will mark the occasion, celebrating the church’s enduring legacy.

2. Heritage Exhibition: An exhibition showcasing the church’s history will be held, displaying photographs, documents, and artifacts that narrate the journey of All Saints’ Church over the past 150 years. This exhibition will provide a fascinating glimpse into the past and highlight the church’s role in the community.

3. Musical Concert: A special concert featuring the church choir and local musicians will celebrate the rich tradition of sacred music. The concert will include performances of classical hymns, contemporary gospel songs, and instrumental pieces, creating an evening of uplifting and inspirational music.

4. Community Outreach Programs: In keeping with its mission of service, the church will organize various outreach programs aimed at supporting the less fortunate. These will include medical camps, food distribution drives, and educational workshops, reinforcing the church’s commitment to social welfare.

5. Youth and Family Activities: Engaging activities for children and families will be organized, such as art competitions, storytelling sessions, and family picnics. These events are designed to bring the community together and foster a sense of belonging among the younger generation.
