Please joins us on Sunday (16 June 2013) at 11:00 AM for “Thoughts on Fatherhood” by Ron Thurston, Eric First, and Gary Baird with special music performed by Bob Jordan.
In celebration of Father’s Day, come and hear from three different fathers at three different places along this remarkable journey.
This month’s Building and Grounds Work Day is now Saturday (15 June 2013) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This change is for the month of June 2013 only.
Our monthly Building and Grounds Work Day is normally scheduled for the second Saturday of each month. There is a memorial service this afternoon for Cameron Varnell — and out of respect for Cameron’s family — we are moving the date of our work day for the month of June 2013.
Please join us this Sunday (9 June 2013) at 11:00 AM for “A Little Love for the Journey” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
This is Barbara’s last sermon for the month of June as she begins the first part of her summer vacation and study break. The All Souls Choir will sing and we will also have an installation of the new Board along with an opportunity to thank and honor our departing and currently serving Board members.
We will also have a Newcomer Information Session immediately following this worship service.
Every year at All Souls, the Sunday before Father’s Day is Tie-Dye Sunday! This is a fun way to make special gifts for Dads and other special grown-ups in the lives of our children.
Children and youth need to bring a 100% cotton t-shirt or other fabric item (pre-washed is better). You may bring more than one item to dye but we will need to make sure that all supplies are shared adequately. Adults and older youth who “know the drill” will be there to walk the children through the process.
Although we do have old t-shirts available as cover-ups, we heartily recommend dressing your children in old clothes and shoes for this project. The dyes we use are strong and permanent.
The memorial service for Bill Johnston will happen this Thursday (13 June 2013), 7:00 PM at All Souls.
Bill passed away last week of natural causes. We will celebrate Bill’s life with a memorial service in the sanctuary followed by a sharing in the social hall of the fellowship he loved so much as a part of this church community.
“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.
