On Friday morning (10 May 2019) at 10:00 AM, we hope as many of you as possible can join us to welcome Rev. Dr. William Barber II.

We realize the morning event may be hard for many to attend — but if you can possibly take the time off — this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and our church.

Hazel Martin Memorial Service — Saturday, 27 April 2019
Friends and family of Hazel Martin will gather on Saturday (27 April 2019) at 3:30 PM in the sanctuary to celebrate her life (Hazel passed away on 10 March 2019 in Raleigh NC).
Hazel was a longtime active member of All Souls and a dedicated Unitarian Universalist at the district and national level as well.
A tribute to Hazel and her many contributions to church life is on page 2 of the April 2019 newsletter.
We will have a reception in the social hall for those in attendance immediately following the service.
We would appreciate more help with set-up and clean-up for that event and — if anyone can bring some nice cookies, pastries, or a fruit or veggie tray to go with the food we already have coming, that would be lovely.
Join us to welcome Hazel’s family and to celebrate a great life well lived!

Building and Grounds Work Day — 9 March 2019
Please join us on Saturday (9 March 2019) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.
Most of the work for our church home is done by us — the members and friends of All Souls.
Weather permitting — we’ll have tasks both outdoors and indoors.
But rain or shine, we’ll have jobs for all ages and abilities.
Come join us for the whole time, or just an hour or so if that’s all the time you have. Every little bit helps.
Can’t stay this Saturday — consider dropping off some snacks for the work crew.
