9 May 2015 Building and Grounds Work Day

AllSoulsSanctuaryPlease join us on Saturday (9 May 2015) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.

Rain or shine, inside or out — this work day will go on as scheduled.

If the weather cooperates, we’ll continue work on the nature trail and other outside tasks.

But we also have things to do inside.

Come one, come all, young and old, great and small, and we will put you to work!

Stay the whole time or give as much time as you have to spare (even if it’s just to drop off snacks for the crew).

Most of the work to maintain our building and grounds is done by volunteers.  It’s a great way to build community and get to know your All Souls community better.

Hope to see you there!

Easter Egg Hunt (5 April 2015)

Easter_eggsWe will have our Easter Egg Hunt immediately after the 11:00 AM Easter worship service (5 April 2015).

We’re asking parents (and anyone else who can help) to bring a dozen filled plastic eggs to the church before 5 April 2015.

You can fill the eggs with candy, small toys, stickers, temporary tattoos or any kid-safe treasures we haven’t thought of yet.

Be sure to mark your eggs as safe or not safe for children under 3.

Items unsafe for kids under 3 would include:

  • hard candies
  • gum
  • nuts
  • extremely chewy candy
  • toys small enough to be choking hazards

Holiday Party for Children and Youth (21 December 2014)

Because last Sunday’s holiday party was more of a marathon gift-wrapping party, we will also have a real holiday celebration for the kids during the 11:00 AM religious education class time on Sunday (21 December 2014) featuring games, crafts and snacks.

We’ll set up tables with the different activities and if you have a craft or game idea you’d like to share, please let Susan Caldwell know.

Cookie Swap After Worship Service (14 December 2014)

MittenCookiesBakers — Bring a dozen or so cookies to swap.  All you need to bring is bring one batch and you can walk away with a dozen unique cookies!

Non-Bakers — Collect a plate of your favorites (for yourself or as a gift) and drop a monetary donation in the provided basket.

This year’s cookie swap proceeds benefit Restore All Souls Nature Trail (RANT).
