Stewardship Kickoff Breakfast — Sunday, 25 October 2015

Please joins for our Stewardship Kickoff Breakfast this Sunday (25 October 2015) at 10:00 AM in the Social Hall at the church.

We’re getting closer to the season of giving as we kick off our 2016 Stewardship Campaign.

It’s time to think about what All Souls means to you and what you are able to give back in terms of time, talent, and treasure.

Members have found that when they give in all three ways — to the extent that they are able — they gain a greater sense of ownership in the church.

As Barbara reminds us each Sunday, this church is sustained in every way by its members — and that includes everything from singing in the choir to working on the Building and Grounds to paying the light bill.

  • What is your dream for our church?
  • More outreach?
  • More paid professional musicians to enhance our services?
  • All our building “quirks” magically fixed?
  • ________________ (Your dream here)?

Join us as we dream together and share a delicious breakfast.

If you have a particularly wonderful breakfast item you’d like to bring, or if you’d like to help in some other way, please contact Amanda Lawrence via email or via phone (318-402-3314).

Easter Lillies

EasterLilyEach year, we offer the congregation the opportunity to purchase one or more Easter lilies per person to decorate the sanctuary for Easter Sunday.

Just as we do with the poinsettias for Christmas, members and friends can purchase a lily for $10 and write a dedication to honor or memorialize someone dear to their hearts.

The dedications will be published in the Order of Service (unless you request anonymity with your donation).

Fill out the form in your Order of Service or call the church using a credit card ($11.00 with the processing fee) and dictate your dedication over the phone.

After the service, the lily is yours to keep.  If you plant it in a shady spot in your yard, it will come back year after year.

22 November 2014 — Special Nature Trail Work Day

NatureTrailPlease join us on Saturday (22 November 2014) from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM for a special nature train building and grounds work day.

We will continue to work on refurbishing the beautiful All Souls nature trail.  If you are looking for something to do on a Saturday that will help you build community with friends, get you outdoors and moving, and help to restore a treasure right outside or doors, then it’s probably time for a good “RANT” (“Restore All Souls Nature Trail”).
