Please join us on Sunday (20 December 2020) at 11:00 AM for “Three Wise Penguins and Other Holiday Legends: Stories from All Souls.”
Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.
We will have a virtual coffee hour after the service on Zoom.

Please join us this Christmas Eve (Thursday, 24 December 2020) at 6:30 PM for our annual Christmas Eve candlelight service.
Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.
Due to COVID-19 safety concerns, this year’s candlelight service will not be the same as previous Christmas Eve services.
However, we do hope to preserve some of our beloved traditions even as we must gather this year in an online virtual space.
Please join us for the reading of the Christmas Story, carols, and candles.
Our family religious education Zoom class is taking a holiday break as well, but watch this space and other communication on Facebook and Slack from All Souls for news on the winter holiday edition of the kids play day on Zoom.
This was the creation of Eva Kate Peck and was a big hit last time — stay tuned for more details.
Please email Susan Caldwell (All Souls Director of Religious Education) if you want to know when the next play date is happening.
Please join us on Sunday (20 December 2020) at 9:30 AM for our adult religious education class (please note the time change).
We will be meeting via Zoom.
We are taking a bit of a break from structed class and curriculum for the next two weeks but not a break from our time with each other.
In order not to go two whole weeks without visiting each other and seeing each other’s faces, we will get together during the holiday weekend Sundays at 9:30 AM (a slightly later time for check-in only and of whatever free-form discussion might evolve in the time we have).
Even if you’re not one of the regular class participants, you are more than welcome to join us and become a part of this kind, funny, supportive and positively brilliant group.
Think of it as a virtual coffee hour before church or a youth group for adults — join us at the link provided above.
Please join us next Wednesday (23 December 2020) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.
Bring your lunch and meet up with your All Souls friends, have lunch, and just catch up.
This a chance to connect and catch up midweek.
At some point we may decide to bring in speakers but for now we’re just hanging out and enjoying each other’s virtual company.
Hope to see you there!

Please join us on Sunday (6 December 2020) at 9:00 AM for our adult religious education class. We will be meeting via Zoom.
Join us as we explore the history of our seven Unitarian Universalist principles and the process by which we will eventually add the eighth principle.
At our 13 December 2020 congregational meeting, we will vote on ratification of the eighth principle as a congregation.
For this Sunday, we welcome anyone who would like to attend and ask questions about the eight principle [although we do encourage you to read this FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document first because you may find that your questions have already been answered by the FAQ].
We also recommend that you watch the 18 October 2020 worship service presented by the youth on the eighth principle.
