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.

Potluck This Sunday After Church (21 April 2013)

Whether you cook or bake your specialty, or slave over a hot takeout counter, bring a dish to share and stay for a meal and some time together with your All Souls community.

Help needed with Set-Up and Clean-Up
Much of our regular potluck crew will be busy with other obligations this week, so it’s a great time for some new faces helping out in the social hall.  If you can help set up, please come around 10:30 AM.

Also, those who work the Highland Dinner have learned how quickly the cleanup goes when everyone helps so be sure to stick around for the Big Finish.
