Building and Grounds Work Day — 11 August 2012

Come join us this Saturday (11 August 2012) and every 2nd Saturday of the month from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly Building and Grounds Work Day.

Tasks for all ages and abilities, inside and out. Spend a little time or a lot. Can’t stay and work this week? Snacks or drinks dropped off for the workers are always much appreciated, too!

Many of our members and friends will attest that they have made some of their best connections at the church in conversations that happen while working side by side.

Artist Sunday – 5 August 2012

Please join us this Sunday (5 August 2012) for Artist Sunday.

Visual arts display and sale will be open from 10:00 – 11:00 AM before the service and from the close of worship until 2:00 PM. The Artist Sunday worship service starts at 11:00 AM.

Once a year at All Souls, we devote an entire worship service to a celebration of the arts. Each element of the entire 11:00 AM Artist Sunday worship service is some kind of artistic performance by our members and friends.

This year’s service including Buddy Flett, Tim Brogan, Robert Smith, The All Souls Choir, Nathan Woods, Carol Graywing, Byron Gates, Caroline Drury, Pamela Raintree, Kathleen Smith, Bob Jordan, Rick Carlisle, and many more!

If you weren’t invited to perform this year, please know that it doesn’t mean you won’t be asked back for future events. We try to present an inspiring and uplifting service that is also respectful of everyone’s time and we have the happy blessing of an abundance of talent among our artistic community.

If you will be hanging art for display or sale, please bring it between 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM on Saturday (4 August 2012). We do still have some available table space for displaying and/or selling craft items, jewelry, etc. The church does not ask for fees or commissions — this event is for the artists — but the artists are responsible for handling their own sales.

We are an open-minded and accepting community. In that spirit, we do ask that in selecting your performance pieces or visual artwork, you consider that ours is a family audience, and we very much prefer that you exercise that judgment at your end. If you have questions, contact Pamela Raintree at 318-946-0367 or Susan Caldwell at 318-465-3427.
