Two Opportunities to Work The Highland Blessing Dinner
On Thursday (31 May 2012) and Thursday (7 June 2012), please join us at The Highland Center (520 Olive Street — Corner of Olive and Highland) at 6:00 PM to work with us for the Highland Blessing Dinner.
If you are volunteering, please be there no later than 5:15 PM.
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.
Want to know more about the joy of working at a Blessing Dinner?

27 May 2012 Memorial Day Worship Service
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.
