Each year, we devote an entire worship service to a celebration of the arts — for 2015, it will be this Sunday (19 July 2015) at 11:00 AM.
Each element of this service is some kind of artistic performance by our members and friends. In the past, this has included songs, instrumental music, performance art, magic, poetry, mime, dance and tai chi.
The service itself runs from 60 to 90 minutes. This will be an all-ages worship service.
The Artist Sunday celebration also features a visual arts display and sale in our religious education wing — beginning from 10:00 AM to 11:00 AM and then after the worship service ends until 1:30 PM.

Please join us on Sunday (5 July 2015) at 11:00 AM for “A More Imperfect Union” by Uncle Sam
Join us Sunday morning to meet Uncle Sam — the personification of an ideal that the Founding Fathers were striving for but never reached (and that we haven’t reached either).
And yet the founders were still willing to leave the door open for an expansive future they couldn’t possibly imagine.
They encoded into the constitution broad rights for every possibility.
They were flawed men, at times blatantly hypocritical, unable to live up to their own ideals.
But they wrote them anyway, doing their best to launch this experiment into the future with as much momentum as they could in the hopes that we could keep it rolling.
The All Souls Choir will sing at this service.
