Adult Religious Education — 8 November 2015

TheNewJimCrowThe 9:15 AM Sunday Adult Religious Education Class will meet this week (Sunday, 8 November 2015).

We will be discussing Chapter 3 (“The Color of Justice”) in the book The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness by Michelle Alexander.  This chapter looks at the role of race in the criminal justice system:

Given the relatively balanced rate of criminal activity by whites and blacks, how does a supposedly race-neutral system round up, arrest, and imprison such a large number of black and brown men?

Stewardship Kickoff Breakfast — Sunday, 25 October 2015

Please joins for our Stewardship Kickoff Breakfast this Sunday (25 October 2015) at 10:00 AM in the Social Hall at the church.

We’re getting closer to the season of giving as we kick off our 2016 Stewardship Campaign.

It’s time to think about what All Souls means to you and what you are able to give back in terms of time, talent, and treasure.

Members have found that when they give in all three ways — to the extent that they are able — they gain a greater sense of ownership in the church.

As Barbara reminds us each Sunday, this church is sustained in every way by its members — and that includes everything from singing in the choir to working on the Building and Grounds to paying the light bill.

  • What is your dream for our church?
  • More outreach?
  • More paid professional musicians to enhance our services?
  • All our building “quirks” magically fixed?
  • ________________ (Your dream here)?

Join us as we dream together and share a delicious breakfast.

If you have a particularly wonderful breakfast item you’d like to bring, or if you’d like to help in some other way, please contact Amanda Lawrence via email or via phone (318-402-3314).

Our Path, All Walking Together.”

Join the children, youth and adults of All Souls for a celebration of our fourth Unitarian Universalist Principle — a free and responsible search for truth and meaning.
