All Saints Church LIC
Sunnyside, Queens

is a satirical Eucharist that pushes the boundaries of a traditional Sunday morning church service. There will be communion, but it won’t be bread and wine. There will be lessons and a gospel reading, but they won’t be from the bible. There will be sitting, standing, and singing, so please come warmed up.

Heather is the product of many generations of Southern Baptist musicians and theologians, but they themself grew up in the Episcopal church in South Carolina because their parents were huge rebels.

As a kid, Heather said the Lord’s Prayer every night before bed, sang “Stand Up for Jesus” while potty training, and they got the coveted yellow ribbon and title of Head Chorister in their church's Royal School of Church Music program. There was a lot of nihilism/depression/therapy in between then and now, but these days Heather has come to appreciate the theatricality of church, the trans allegory of death and resurrection, and the inherent queerness of a man and his 12 homies in gowns bro-ing out with charcuterie.
