1 July 2018 Worship Service and Summer Fun for Children and Youth
Please join us on Sunday (1 July 2018) at 11:00 AM for “Variations on a Theme of Independence” by Bennett Upton.
Bennett Upton (All Souls Board President) is in the pulpit this morning on this Sunday before our nation’s celebration of independence. John Allen is the worship associate for this service.
Before and after service, the Philadelphia Center will be at All Souls offering free HIV and STI testing. Know your status and let your friends know about this opportunity.
Summer fun activities for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service. This week’s summer fun is origami.

Adult Religious Education — 1 July 2018
Please join us on Sunday (1 July 2018) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class.
We will resume our discussion of Daring Democracy: Igniting Power, Meaning, and Connection for the America We Want by Frances Moore Lappe and Adam Eichen.
Susan Caldwell (All Souls Director of Religious Education) attended a workshop with one of the authors at the UUA General Assembly (GA) and is eager to share some of the success stories she heard.
Before the adult class hiatus, we got through the really depressing “this is how we got here” chapters (yes, five families have essentially highjacked democracy in our country and there is no turning away from that fact).
But even in this dismal week, the rest of the book offers practical advice on “how we fix it” and even a few success.
24 June 2018 Worship Service and Summer Fun for Children and Youth
Please join us on Sunday (24 June 2018) at 11:00 AM for “Stay Angry” by Melissa Gibson (All Souls member and activist).
It is healthy and understandable to be angry in these times.
How do we maintain our energy and channel our anger in such a way that we stay effective to create change where it is so badly needed?
A Reminder that “Give Away the Plate Has Changed” — Rather than selecting one charity or non-profit at the end of the month, we now give half of all of our non-pledge income for the entire month to a selected non-profit.
For the month of June, we have chosen The Philadelphia Center for sponsorship of their annual silent auction in August.
Summer fun activities for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service. This week’s summer fun is mindfulness and meditation for all ages.
Mindfulness for All Ages (Summer Fun for 24 June 2018)
On this Sunday (24 June 2018), our children and youth will be practicing meditation and mindfulness for all ages.
Jennifer Russell and James Peck will facilitate a session of activities for teaching mindfulness as something accessible to all ages — at any time — in the day-to-day activities of life.
17 June 2018 Worship Service and Summer Fun for Children and Youth
Please join us on Sunday (17 June 2018) at 11:00 AM for “On Fathering: The Reflections of Three Men at Different Stages of Fatherhood” with John Macy, Abbas Moussaoui, and Ron Thurston.
Join John Allen and three of our members to hear their perspectives on fatherhood at different stages along the path.
Join us afterward in the social hall for a Father’s Day Lunch prepared by the children and youth.
A Reminder that “Give Away the Plate Has Changed” — Rather than selecting one charity or non-profit at the end of the month, we now give half of all of our non-pledge income for the entire month to a selected non-profit.
