Online Adult Religious Education — 29 November 2020
Please join us on Sunday (29 November 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.
Many congregations throughout the Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA) have already ratified the eighth principle and the hope is to bring it before the General Assembly in an expedited process to adopt it throughout the UUA.
In our sessions, we are exploring the ways we will not only make the statement but also live into it as a congregation.
We’ll explore the questions that still remain and also discuss the ways we have put the eighth principle into practice and the ways we will continue to do so.

Online All-Ages Worship (22 November 2020)
Please join us this Sunday (15 November 2020) at 11:00 AM for a different online Thanksgiving worship service.
Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no way we can have our customary Thanksgiving service and gigantic potluck this year.
With the virus numbers climbing, there is simply no safe way to do it.
However, we do have several people joining us on the Zoom to talk about what they’re grateful for.
We are also planning to have our bread and water communion as part of the online worship service and we have a no-contact way that we can do this ritual online this year.
We will have a virtual coffee hour after the service on Zoom.
And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
