Please join us on Sunday (11 September 2016) at 11:00 AM for “Run, Spectate, or Commit” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

In the film City of Joy, Joan, a social worker in a clinic in the slums of Kolkata (formerly known as Calcutta), asserts that life really boils down to these three choices.

On this 15th anniversary of an event that calls for our grief and tribute, we look to what is ours to do.

Join us, and stay afterward for a presentation by Stacy Eppers of Volunteers for Youth Justice.  They are in need of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates) volunteers willing to work with lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning youth.

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 Sunday (4 September 2016) at 11:00 AM for “A Living Tradition or a Community of Like-minded?” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.  This is a question to ponder in contemplating our next bold move forward.

The service will feature music from an ensemble of the All Souls Choir and a special musical tribute to Woody Guthrie by Bob Jordan in honor of Labor Day.

Please join us after the service for a farewell celebration for Jax Schmidt, who will be leaving us for Atlanta this week.

Please join us on Sunday (28 August 2016) for “A Sense of Belonging” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

What does it mean to have a “sense of belonging” in a faith community? Or in every aspect of one’s own life? We will also have an ingathering of new members as a part of this service so — whether you are welcoming or being welcomed — please join us.

Please join us on Sunday (14 August 2016) at 11:00 AM for our annual water communion worship service.

This is the time of year when we return from our various summer adventures and activities, and share water from those experiences.

This is not a travelogue or a competition for who has the best travel tale — although your water may be from faraway places or from nearby.

Whether your water comes from the Mediterranean Sea or your own kitchen sink, we invite you to bring it to add to the communal waters and to tell briefly the story of why you have brought it.

If you forget or couldn’t bring water, we will have water on hand to pour symbolically into the common bowl.  The children and youth will be with us in the sanctuary this morning.

The combined water is filtered, boiled, and frozen for future use in child dedications or other church rituals.

Following the service, we will have a potluck lunch at the church (see 14 August 2016 Swim Party Cancelled on our web site for more details).

Please join us on Sunday (7 August 2016) at 11:00 AM for “One Big Rhythm” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell — a different way to explore the idea of listening to all voices, even  — perhaps especially —  when we may disagree.

The All Souls Choir is back this week.

The summer fun activity for today will be Adventures in Art History.
