Building and Grounds Day Moved to 19 November 2016

BuildingAndGroundsOur monthly building and grounds work day has been moved to next Saturday (19 November 2016) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.

For November 2016 only — our monthly work day will be moved from its usual second Saturday to the third Saturday.

Still needing all who can come, still offering tasks inside and outside, for all ages and abilities.  Other than some basic cleaning inside and mowing outside, all the work to maintain our building and grounds is done by US, the members and friends of the church.

Working together is a great way to get to know your church community a little better, and to feel a sense of ownership in the community as well.

Stay the whole time or just an hour or so, as your schedule permits. Can’t stay? Consider dropping off snacks for the crew.

There are tasks for all ages and abilities.

Come for the whole time, or for whatever length of time you can manage.

“This Machine” — Roy Zimmerman Concert (15 March 2016)

RoyZimmermanMugshotDo you remember last year when you were kicking yourself because you missed this guy?

or …

Do you remember last year when you came to hear this guy and wished you’d brought all your friends?

Now is your chance to see singer / songwriter / satirist Roy Zimmerman, whether for the first time or for the second, third, or fourth time with friends in tow.

Join us on Tuesday (15 March 2016) at 7:00 PM at All Souls Church.

Admission is $18.00 at the door or you can pay what you are able.

“This Machine” is ninety minutes of Roy Zimmerman’s hilarious,
rhyme-intensive original songs.

The title is a reference to Woody Guthrie and Pete Seeger to be sure but also an acknowledgement that songwriting does good work in the world.

Sometimes I think satire is the most hopeful and heartfelt form of expression because in calling out the world’s absurdities and laughing in their face, I’m affirming the real possibility of change. — Roy Zimmerman

Roy’s songs have been heard on HBO and Showtime.  He’s shared the stage with Bill Maher, Robin Williams, Ellen DeGeneres, John Oliver, Kate Clinton, and George Carlin.

He’s been profiled on NPR’s All Things Considered and he’s a
featured blogger for the Huffington Post.
