Please join us on Sunday (14 February 2016) at 11:00 AM for “World Community Begins at Home” — an all-ages worship service presented by the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.

Living into our Sixth Principle — “the goal of world community with peace, liberty and justice for all” — requires building relationships, talking to each other, and really listening.

Drawing from our Third Source is a way to help us accomplish that and also a way of strengthening our own Unitarian Universalist faith.
