Please join us on Sunday (5 October 2014) at 11:00 AM for our worship service — “A Blank Page” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

In this season when our Jewish friends are celebrating the High Holidays (which culminate in the observance of Yom Kippur — the Day of Atonement) we pause to “forgive ourselves and each other, and to begin again in love.”  This Sunday’s service will include a ritual of releasing that which does not serve.

Special musical guests will be Keith Grimwood (Trout Fishing in America) and Sandra Odom.

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, then are dismissed to their classes.

Please join us on Sunday (21 September 2014) for our 11:00 AM Worship Service — “Turning Rocks to Reason” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

Rev. Jarrell is back in the pulpit this morning and we welcome our special musical guest Dirty Red.

At this time of year, our friends in the Jewish community are observing Rosh Hashanah, or “the head of the year” (Jewish New Year) , the beginning of the High Holy Days, and a time of new beginnings as well as casting off what no longer serves.

Join us for apples and honey and the sweetness of a fresh start.

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, then are dismissed to their classes.

Please join us on Sunday (14 September 2014) for our 11:00 AM Worship Service — “Turning and Returning:  A Homecoming Celebration.”

Rev. Barbara Jarrell is in the pulpit this morning.  The All Souls Choir will sing with special guests Lane Bayliss, Joel Boultinghouse, and vocal soloist Terry McNeil.

We will have an Ingathering of New Members, and we will honor those members of 25 years and longer standing.

Children and youth will be in the service for the first 15-20 minutes and then go to their Religious Education classes.

Please join us on Sunday (17 August 2014) at 10:30 AM for “Is the Flow Downhill?” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

This is our annual “Water Communion” worship service —  an annual tradition in ours and many other Unitarian  Universalist congregations.

Water Communion allows us an opportunity to reunite after the summer and tell each other something of our experiences as we bring a small gift of water (whether from the source of our experience or symbolically so) and to blend our waters as we blend our stories.

This is not just a travelogue.  The water might be from Tanganyika, or it might be from the tap in your new apartment or a puddle where you watched tadpoles with a small child.

The water is added to water from previous Water Communions, then boiled, filtered and frozen to be saved for rituals involving water such as child dedications, and of course, future water communions.

Join us after the service for the Swim Party at the home of Laurie Lyons and Henry Walker.

Please joins on Sunday (7 July 2014) at 10:30 AM for “Affinity or Affliction?” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.  This is Barbara’s last time in our pulpit for the Summer — she will be back for our Water Communion service on 10 August 2014.

In the Religious Education Wing, the children and youth will have Origami lessons with Richard Denton and Noah Wagstaff — variations from super-simple to fancy for all ages and abilities.

Please joins on Sunday (15 June 2014) for our 10:30 AM Worship and Religious Education activities — “Evolving to Care ” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell With Story for All Ages by Phil Boswell.

Join us for a celebration of Father’s Day and for the installation of our new Board and a thank you to our outgoing Board members.

The All Souls Choir will sing.

A “Pizza for Pop” lunch for the congregation will follow the service. Children and youth will make flatbread pizzas to share with Dads and other important grown-up caregivers after the worship service.
