Effective 18 August 2013 — New Sunday Worship and Religious Education Schedule
Starting 18 August 2013, the Sunday schedule will be a full hour of Religious Education classes for children, youth, and adults (9:00 – 10:00 AM) with a half-hour break before we have our Sunday Worship (10:30 – 11:30 AM).
The Sunday Worship will be for all ages together in the sanctuary every Sunday. We will still offer nursery care for all children under the age of 7 during the Sunday Worship. The Religious Education classes for children and youth will cover the pre-school through high school age ranges — infants and toddlers will have nursery care during the Religious Education class time.

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear this passionate speaker who is doing so much for the betterment of our community. The Fuller Center creates partnerships within communities that bring together churches, schools, businesses and civic organizations to build decent, affordable homes for people who are unable to secure adequate housing by conventional means.
In the Religious Education wing, the children and youth explore the Fourth Source of Unitarian Universalism (Jewish and Christian teachings which call us to respond to God’s love by loving our neighbors as ourselves).

In the Religious Education wing, the children and youth will be exploring our Third Source, the Wisdom of World Religions. Pre-School through 5th will make Tibetan prayer flags and learn the story behind their origin, while Middle School and High School will have Tai Chi with Greg Guerin (who will also explore the Taoist roots of this ancient spiritual practice).
13 July 2013 Building and Grounds Work Day
Please join us on Saturday (13 July 2013) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly Building and Grounds Work Day.
If you are new to the church, you may not realize that with only a few exceptions, all care and maintenance of the church building and grounds is done by volunteers … by us. We have tasks for all ages and abilities, indoors and out. Come spend an hour or two or the whole work day (you’ll still be done by 1:00 PM) and get to know more of your All Souls friends as you work together side by side.
Operation Playground Awesome will be continuing debris clearing efforts this Saturday in preparation for playground renovations.
