14 February 2016 All-Ages Worship Service

Please join us on Sunday (14 February 2016) at 11:00 AM for “World Community Begins at Home” — an all-ages worship service presented by the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.

Living into our Sixth Principle — “the goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all” — requires building relationships, talking to each other, and really listening.

Drawing from our Third Source is a way to help us accomplish that and also a way of strengthening our own Unitarian Universalist faith.

And join us after the service for a Valentine’s Day Italian Luncheon Fundraiser.

The Social Hall will be transformed into an Italian bistro and several of our members will provide an Italian feast complete with various pasta dishes, salads, sides and desserts.  The cost is your worthy donation.

Do you have an Italian specialty you’d like to contribute to the menu?  Email Amanda Lawrence or call or text her at 318-402-3314.

“This Machine” — Roy Zimmerman Concert (15 March 2016)

RoyZimmermanMugshotDo you remember last year when you were kicking yourself because you missed this guy?

or …

Do you remember last year when you came to hear this guy and wished you’d brought all your friends?

Now is your chance to see singer / songwriter / satirist Roy Zimmerman, whether for the first time or for the second, third, or fourth time with friends in tow.

Join us on Tuesday (15 March 2016) at 7:00 PM at All Souls Church.

Admission is $18.00 at the door or you can pay what you are able.

“This Machine” is ninety minutes of Roy Zimmerman’s hilarious,
rhyme-intensive original songs.

The title is a reference to Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger to be sure but also an acknowledgement that songwriting does good work in the world.

Sometimes I think satire is the most hopeful and heartfelt form of expression because in calling out the world’s absurdities and laughing in their face, I’m affirming the real possibility of change. — Roy Zimmerman

Roy’s songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime.  He’s shared the stage with Bill Maher, Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, John Oliver, Kate Clinton, and George Carlin.

He’s been profiled on NPR’s All Things Considered and he’s a
featured blogger for the Huffington Post.

Building and Grounds Work Day — 13 February 2016

Spring-Flowers-Feb-2016Please join us on Saturday (13 February 2016) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.

Spring is starting to peek out here and there on the church grounds and the forecast for Saturday is “59 degrees and mostly sunny.”

So, it’s the perfect day to come out and join your All Souls friends to work together.

And if the great outdoors still isn’t calling you, there are plenty of tasks inside as well for all ages and abilities.

Remember that except for some basic cleaning and occasional major repairs, most of our building maintenance is done by the members and friends of All Souls.

Working side by side is a great way to get to build relationships and feel more a part of your All Souls community.  We hope to see you here.
