On this Sunday (30 December 2018) between Christmas and New Year’s Day, we will have a movies and popcorn Sunday.
The children and youth will have a chance to watch some holiday classics and take a break before we start our next pillar (World Religions) next Sunday (6 January 2019).
Please join us on Sunday (23 December 2018) at 11:00 AM for “A Force of Light and Hope” with the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.
In this season, our holidays celebrate awaiting the return of light in the darkness and the spirit of the season also calls us to be that light for all who are disenfranchised or suffering in any way.
Join us as we lift up the ancient stories in ways that call us into the service of love and light here in the present day.
Please join us on Sunday (23 December 2018) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class.
We will be watching “Bono and Eugene Peterson: The Psalms.”
The inspiration for this delightful short film started with a thank you note: a video thank you note from noted philanthropist and U2 lead singer Bono to Biblical scholar Eugene Peterson for his modern translation of the Bible (The Message).
Bono, a committed Christian, was particularly moved by Peterson’s translation of the Psalms and this correspondence ultimately resulted in a meeting for the two of them and an afternoon of discussion that is deep, moving, and hilarious — sometimes all at the same time.
Please join us on Sunday (16 December 2018) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class — topic TBA.
Please join us on Sunday (9 September 2018) at 11:00 AM for “One World, Two Pockets, and Three Traditions” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

We will have a newcomer information session immediately following the service. Childcare will be provided.
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.

We will hear more from Father Richard Rohr in an audio presentation of his “On Being” interview with Krista Tippett (“Living in Deep Time”).
Join us for this continued exploration of the contemplative path in Christianity.
At this time of year when we consider our roots in the Jewish and Christian traditions, join us to hear a different take on God and Christianity as something relational, inclusive, and all-encompassing, as opposed to what Father Rohr calls the “supernatural Santa Claus handing out cosmic lottery tickets to those who attend the right church or say the right prayer.”
Please join us on Sunday (25 November 2018) at 11:00 AM for “The Evolution of God” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
