Please join us this Saturday (9 June 2012) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our building and grounds work day
There are many ways to serve the church and to build community with other church members and friends as you serve.
One way is to come to a building and grounds work day.
Beyond the basic lawn service, all the work of our grounds is done by members and friends.
We have chores for all skill levels — even “0” skill level — inside and outside. And we always have a lot of fun. Sometimes,we have so much fun that we forget we are working!
Email Patrick Early to find out the plan for this session.
If you can’t stay and work, but want to show appreciation in the form of breakfast, snacks, or lunch for the workers, please let Patrick know that too.

For those who may not have heard, a partnership of eight congregations is working together to feed people every Thursday evening. All Souls’ first Highland Blessing Dinner on 3 May 2012 was a tremendous success. We will continue to work the dinner on the first Thursday of each month, in partnership with Kings Highway Christian Church.
Additionally, the partner congregations have determined to share the load when there is a fifth Sunday, hence the opportunity to work this Thursday (31 May 2012) in addition to 7 June 2012.

Please join us on Sunday (27 May 2012) at 11:00 AM for our Memorial Day Worship Service. We remember those lost as we honor those who serve.
The All Souls Choir will sing, and — in the Religious Education Wing — the Children and Youth will write letters and cards to troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We will also be collecting items to give to Operation Support Our Troops — a local organization that collects and packages a wide variety of useful items to send to our deployed service members. Feel free to check out this Wish List and bring any of the items in question. We will have a box in the Social Hall to collect them.
After the worship service, we will have our congregational business meeting.
