Please join us on Sunday (1 January 2017) at 11:00 AM for “The Wheel of the Times” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
Join us on the first day of the new year — all ages are welcome into the sanctuary.
We will have no children and youth religious education classes or nursery care — both will resume next week (8 January 2017).
Our adult religious education classes will also resume next week.
Please join us on Sunday (25 December 2016) at 11:00 AM for our Christmas Day worship service (yes, we are having one).
It will be a service welcoming all generations as we will have no religious education classes nor nursery care.
We plan to sing a lot — please join us.
Please join us on Christmas Eve (24 December 2016) at 6:30 PM for our traditional candlelight service featuring music from the All Souls Choir, a reading of the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke, and (of course) the candlelight reflected in the church window.
Although the service is one of the most traditional ones we have all year, it is also welcoming of all and inclusive of all theologies.
In these uncertain times, let us be together in peace and pass on the light to one another.
Nursery care will be available for infants and toddlers as needed, although all children will be welcomed into the sanctuary.
Please join us this Sunday (11 December 2016) at 11:00 AM for “A Tradition of Faith” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
On this day that new members will sign the membership book, we celebrate our congregation — a covenanted community within a Living Tradition that belongs to all of us.
We will have a Congregational Business Meeting following the service — child care will be provided — we must have a quorum.
Religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service — children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.
Please join us on Thursday (15 December 2016) at 7:00 PM for an evening with Barbara Jarrell and friends.
This concert and CD release party will include performances with Barbara Jarrell and guest musicians TBA –suggested donation of $15.00 at the door.
Barbara’s CDs will be for sale — $10.00 each (just in time for holiday shopping).
All gate proceeds will go to the church as well as $8.00 of every purchase of one of Barbara’s solo CDs.
Heavy hors d’oeuvres, coffee, tea, punch and water available between sets — BYOB if desired.
If you’re one of those people who’ve been listening to Barbara’s music for years and kept asking “Is any of this on CD?” — the answer is “yes.”
And Barbara is giving a benefit concert for the church to celebrate. The concert will feature music from the CDs as well as other selections not yet released.
