9 April 2017 All-Ages Worship Service
Please join us on Sunday (9 April 2017) at 11:00 AM for “The Great Kapok Tree” — a worship service by the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.
This story by Lynne Cherry has much to tell us about the interdependent web and how all life is dependent upon and responsible for all other life.
It is a good reminder of the way we should look after the planet which also extends to the way we look out for each other.
Our guest for this service and immediately afterward will be Ms. Lily Jonsek of PAX who will do a brief pulpit editorial during the service, and a presentation after our worship service.
PAX brings exchange students from predominantly Muslim countries and countries in the Former Soviet Union. They are interested in talking to people about being host families for these students — a light lunch will be served.
We will also have a newcomer session following the service.
Adult Religious Education — 9 April 2017
Please join us on Sunday (9 April 2017) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class. We will continue our discussion of the book Dignity: The Essential Role It Plays in Resolving Conflict by Donna Hicks, PhD.
Our reading for this week continues to unpack each of the “ten temptations” that can cause us to violate the dignity of others as well as our own.
In class, we will continue reviewing the ten essential elements of dignity and begin our discussion of the ten temptations.
In her work with businesses, schools, organizations, and governments, Donna Hicks has come to draw a distinction between “respect” and “dignity.”
We often see respect as something that must be earned, or can be lost.
We do not have to respect bad behavior, but we do need to grant each person basic dignity, just as we are entitled to claim that for ourselves.
This is an important book for these contentious times, and we hope to make it a congregational, and even a community read.
We currently have no books in stock, but can always order more.
This book is also available for order in print and electronic format.
