An Ice Storm or Winter Storm Warning will go in effect for the entire Four State region as early as 6 PM this evening, with locations along and south of the US Highway 84 corridor starting at 6 AM Saturday, as a significant winter storm is poised to impact the entire region this weekend.

Due to the ice storm and winter storm impacts, we are not meeting in person for Sunday worship or other Sunday morning activities for this Sunday (25 January 2026).

We will have an online worship service at 11:00 AM and we may have some other online activities (watch for details in our weekly email newsletter coming soon, our social media feeds, and our website).

Additionally, there will be no in-person events at All Souls on Saturday (24 January 2026) due to this weekend’s severe weather.

Please take care of yourself and stay safe this weekend.

Religious Education for Children and Youth (18 January 2026)

On this Sunday (18 January 2026), our children and youth will explore “Love at the Center:  Jesus, Gandhi, and MLK” during the 11:00 AM worship service.

As we continue our emphasis on World Religions, the children and youth will look at the ways that Mahatma Gandhi was inspired by the teachings and ministry of Jesus, and how MLK was in turn inspired by Gandhi.

The two men never met but this was a connection across the boundaries of faith, time, and space — MLK even traveled to India to meet people who were part of Gandhi’s movement and to pay tribute to a man he considered his spiritual teacher.

These are the kind of connections that can be life-changing for us as Unitarian Universalists when we take the time to learn about other faiths and connect with those who practice them.
