March 2014 Volunteers of the Month

Our BOLTs (Bearers of Light and Tradition) are our March 2014 Volunteers of the Month.

Each Sunday, All Souls is reminded of our sources and principles through the work of five dedicated children and youth — Sam First, Gretchen Upton, Eleanora Lawrence, and Andrew Lawrence.

They make up our current team of Bearers of Light and Tradition more affectionately known as BOLTs.

In addition to public speaking and playing with fire, the children and youth pass the offering plates and many of them also perform in the All Souls theatrical productions.  Most recently, these junior members along with John Allen and Amanda Lawrence put on a most excellent production of Dr. Suess’s The Sneetches.

We appreciate the work all these young people do for All Souls each Sunday.
