Plant Sale — 23 and 24 March 2019 (Updated)

We are having a plant sale at All Souls — here are the dates and hours:

  • Saturday, 23 March 2019 — 9:00 AM – 2:00 PM
  • Sunday, 24 March 2019 — 10:00 AM – 2:00 PM

The second date for the plant sale has changed — since plants did not sell out this weekend, we will extend the sale to first Saturday and Sunday in April (6-7 April 2019).

The sale features a wide selection of native plants, herbs, perennials, vegetable seedlings, and more.  We are also selling yard art and raffle tickets.

All proceeds from the plant sale benefit All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church.

17 March 2019 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (17 March 2019) at 11:00 AM for “Dwelling in Peace … because It Matters” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

An important part of the task at hand is to learn how we speak with each other — and more importantly — how we listen to each other within our own walls.

Without this practice, we stand little chance of doing so in the wider world.

We are continuing this season’s focus on peace, social justice, and the interdependent web.

In this season of our church year, we honor our second principle (“justice, equity, and compassion in human relations”), our sixth principle (“the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all”) and our seventh principle (“respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part”).

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.

We will host another “Lunch and Learn” potluck with our Committee on Ministry after the worship service.

Adult Religious Education — 17 March 2019

Please join us on Sunday (17 March 2019) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class.

This morning, we will watch a video of a TED Talk by Robb Willer — “How to Have Better Political Conversations.”

As a social psychologist, Willer has some ideas on how moral values might serve to bridge the ideological divide as opposed to widening it, and how we might talk to each other in ways that better promote mutual understanding.

Join us for the viewing and discussion.

10 March 2019 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (10 March 2019) from 11:00 AM for “Growing Justice” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

We are continuing this season’s focus on peace, social justice, and the interdependent web.

In this season of our church year, we honor our second principle (“justice, equity, and compassion in human relations”), our sixth principle (“the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all”), and our seventh principle (“respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part”).

We will have a new member signing ceremony as part of this worship service.  Please join us and welcome our new members.

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.

Building and Grounds Work Day — 9 March 2019

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

Most of the work for our church home is done by us — the members and friends of All Souls.

Weather permitting — we’ll have tasks both outdoors and indoors.

But rain or shine, we’ll have jobs for all ages and abilities.

Come join us for the whole time, or just an hour or so if that’s all the time you have.  Every little bit helps.

Can’t stay this Saturday — consider dropping off some snacks for the work crew.

3 March 2019 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (3 March 2019) at 11:00 AM for “Justice and U(U)s” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

Continuing this season’s focus on peace, social justice, and the interdependent web, what is ours to do as Unitarian Universalists in the effort to bend the moral arc of the universe toward justice?

In this season of our church year, we honor our second principle (“justice, equity, and compassion in human relations”), our sixth principle (“the goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all”), and our seventh principle (“respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part”).

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.
