3 May 2015 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

BrianSalvatorePlease join us on Sunday (3 May 2015) at 11:00 AM for the annual presentation of the Ralph Waldo Emerson Award to Dr. Brian Salvatore during our worship service.

Each year All Souls presents the Emerson Award to an individual or organization who has best exemplified the principles and values of liberal religion.

This year, a number of our congregants nominated Dr. Salvatore for his relentless work to raise public awareness of the proposed open burn of the M6 propellents at Camp Minden and for his commitment to follow through as a member of the Dialogue Committee for the purpose of finding a safer method of disposal.

Dr. Salvatore will also be our guest speaker for the service which will also feature music from the All Souls Choir, Sandra Odom and Lip Service Trio (Barbara Jarrell, Sandra Odom, and Cookie Garner)

Religious Education classes for Children and Youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service.  Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.

3 May 2015 Adult Religious Education

TheGoodHeartDalaiLamaOur class continues this Sunday (3 May 2015) at 9:30 AM with discussions of The Good Heart:  A Buddhist Perspective on the Teachings of Jesus by the Dalai Lama.

We will read and reflect on Mark 3: 31-35 which expresses the concept of equanimity.  In the class, we have a reading of the passage as translated for the Dalai Lama, followed by a period of silent meditation.  We then discuss our own thoughts on the reading, as well as the Dalai Lama’s comments.

We have nine more copies of the book available at the church this week and we can order more as needed.

Read the introductory sections and the chapter on this passage of Matthew for this Sunday’s class.

PS — You are still very welcome to the class if you don’t have the book and didn’t do this reading.
