Christmas Eve Candlelight Service — 24 December 2016

Please join us on Christmas Eve (24 December 2016) at 6:30 PM for our traditional candlelight service featuring music from the All Souls Choir, a reading of the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke, and (of course) the candlelight reflected in the church window.

Although the service is one of the most traditional ones we have all year, it is also welcoming of all and inclusive of all theologies.

In these uncertain times, let us be together in peace and pass on the light to one another.

Nursery care will be available for infants and toddlers as needed, although all children will be welcomed into the sanctuary.

18 December 2016 All-Ages Worship Service

Please join us on Sunday (18 December 2016) at 11:00 AM for “Waiting for the Light” with the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.

On this final Sunday of Advent, we celebrate the common thread of returning light that runs through the winter holidays of Christianity, Judaism, and earth-based traditions.

An all-ages holiday party with food, games, and crafts will follow the service.

We will also be gift-wrapping the Community Support children’s holiday gifts that are still unwrapped.  They will be picked up by Community Support employees on Tuesday afternoon (20 December 2016).

Helping the Helpers

Who deserves a “thank you” this Christmas Eve?  Firefighters, ER staff, police, EMTs, etc?

Maybe the employees at your neighborhood convenience store, who don’t save lives but might have saved your dinner by carrying that ingredient you forgot?

Please bring cookies or other holiday snacks to the church social hall on Friday (23 December 2016) between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

Amanda Lawrence and friends will then divide the goodies up into decorative trays.

After the Christmas Eve service, everyone  is invited to grab a tray or two and deliver them to wherever they see fit.

Please note, we cannot accept snacks that need refrigeration or heating.
