Online Middle School / High School Check-In (29 March 2020)

Please join us online today (Sunday, 29 March 2020) at 2:00 PM for our weekly middle and high school check-in.

We will be meeting online using this Zoom link.

Our middle and high school youth will meet Sunday afternoon for an online check-in with Noah Wagstaff and Susan Caldwell.

We’re trying this again, getting the word out a little more widely this time.

We’ll see how everyone is doing, and also think about some other ideas for keeping the group connected online during this time.

We hope to see you Sunday afternoon.

Carnival Art Market (9 February 2020)

Please join us for our Carnival Art Market this Sunday (9 February 2020) from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM (with a break for the 11:00 AM worship service).

Just in time for Valentine’s Day and Mardi Gras, we’ll have prints, jewelry, fabric art, delicious baked goods, and more!

Come and shop before and/or after church and invite your friends from other congregations (and no congregation) to do the same!

Christmas Eve Candlelight Service (24 December 2019)

Join us on Christmas Eve (Tuesday, 24 December 2019) at 6:30 PM for our annual Christmas Eve candlelight service.

We’ll hear the Christmas story and we’ll sing the carols with the original words as we watch the candlelight growing in the window.

The service includes special music by the All Souls Choir and guest musicians.

Afterward, we have a very low-key reception in the social hall, where you can bring any extra goodies you want out of the house and spend some time in the holiday spirit in community with your All Souls friends.

Children and youth are invited to arrive at 6 p.m. to participate in an All Souls Christmas Eve tradition.

24 November 2019 All-Ages Worship Service and Thanksgiving Feast

Please join us on Sunday (24 November 2019) at 11:00 AM for our annual Thanksgiving ritual and feast with Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

This is a holiday with a tortured history that needs recognition and reckoning. At the same time, we need time and space to recognize those people, events, and everyday gifts in our lives that cause us to feel gratitude. It is another part of the great paradox in which we live our lives. Join us as we celebrate this gratitude and sit down to a meal together.

We begin with a shorter service in the sanctuary and end with a procession to the social hall for a ritual of gratitude and our potluck feast.

If you are unable to prepare or pick up anything, please come anyway. There will be plenty. And we need people to help with set-up and clean-up which is just as good as bringing food.
