9 June 2019 All-Ages Worship Service

Please join us on Sunday (9 June 2019) at 11:00 AM for “Building Bridges:  Celebrating Our Children and Youth.”

We will be honoring our graduating seniors — Ash McLain, Sarah Allen, Mason Upton, and Sarah Lord.

Our Affirmation Sunday service brings our whole church community together in honor of our children and youth and features the senior sermons and bridging ceremony for our graduates.

A bridging ceremony celebrates the transition of our graduates from youth to adulthood and is most meaningful when all generations of our community are present to witness and support them.

Adult Religious Education — 9 June 2019

Please join us on Sunday (2 June 2019) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class — “The Story of God, Episode 5  — Why Does Evil Exist?”  We will continue our discussion of this topic from last week.

This Sunday, we view the conclusion of an episode that asks yet another question for the ages — “Why does evil exist?”

Once again, our intrepid guide travels the globe examining the question from the perspectives of various faith traditions as well as science.  This sparked some great discussions that we look forward to continuing this week.

Building and Grounds Work Day — 8 June 2019

Please join us on Saturday (8 June 2019) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.

Most of the care and maintenance of our physical church home is done by us — the members and friends of All Souls.

This is a great opportunity for you not only to contribute to the stewardship of our surroundings and also to get to know your fellow church members and strengthen our community.

Come for the whole time or just an hour or two if that’s all you can spare.

And if your day’s too busy to stick around, consider dropping off snacks for the crew — see you this Saturday!
