Tie-Dye Sunday (9 June 2013)

Every year at All Souls, the Sunday before Father’s Day is Tie-Dye Sunday!  This is a fun way to make special gifts for Dads and other special grown-ups in the lives of our children.

TieDye

Children and youth need to bring a 100% cotton t-shirt or other fabric item (pre-washed is better).  You may bring more than one item to dye but we will need to make sure that all supplies are shared adequately.  Adults and older youth who “know the drill” will be there to walk the children through the process.

Although we do have old t-shirts available as cover-ups, we heartily recommend dressing your children in old clothes and shoes for this project.  The dyes we use are strong and permanent.

2 June 2013 Worship Service

“Kindling the Flame Within” — 11:00 AM Worship Service for 2 June 2013.

Join the children, youth, and adults of the congregation — along with the All Souls Choir — to celebrate the light within each and every one of us and the ways in which we can share that light with the wider world.

This is also a time when we celebrate the transitions of our children and youth, the end of our pillar on Personal Spiritual Growth, and the end of the 2012-2013 Religious Education year.

Don’t forget that this is the Sunday to bring back your Guest At Your Table boxes or envelopes for the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.  We will also take an additional collection for the Standing on the Side of Love Fund to benefit undocumented immigrant tornado victims in Oklahoma.
