11 January 2015 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

RevSusanSmithPlease join us on Sunday (11 January 2015) at 11:00 AM for “Your Brain on Peace” by Rev. Susan M. Smith.

“Inner peace and a life of peace are extremely challenging in our 21st century environment where technology stimulates our brains in negative ways and the pace of life keeps our hearts racing. Still, inner peace is the root of world peace.”

We are delighted to welcome back Rev. Susan M. Smith, a member of the Congregational Life Staff of the Southern Region of the Unitarian Universalist Association (holding the portfolio of Stewardship and Administration).

11 January 2015 Adult Religious Education Class

NaturesGodBookPlease join us on Sunday (11 January 2015) at 9:30 AM for our adult religious education class.

We will continue our study of Nature’s God: The Heretical Origins of the American Republic by Matthew Stewart.

A very persuasive response to the idea that our country was founded as a “Christian nation” — Stewart’s work takes a close and fresh look at what the founders meant by the words in the Declaration of Independence — “the laws of nature and nature’s God.”

This Sunday, we explore Chapter 4, “On the Genealogy of Nature’s God.”  We still have one last hard copy of the book available at church.

You can also buy the book for both Nook and Kindle e-readers.

If ordering through Amazon, remember to go through the All Souls website so that the church gets a portion of the proceeds.  From the homepage, scroll down to find the Amazon window on the right.

We have 1 more books available if you don’t have one yet.  We will continue discussing Chapter 3 (“Epicurus’s Dangerous Idea”) which will also touch on the life of the 16th century monk Giordano Bruno (that name may sound familiar if you have seen the television series Cosmos with Neil Degrasse Tyson).

Find out what Epicurus, Bruno, and Thomas Jefferson could have possibly had in common.

Holiday Party for Children and Youth (21 December 2014)

Because last Sunday’s holiday party was more of a marathon gift-wrapping party, we will also have a real holiday celebration for the kids during the 11:00 AM religious education class time on Sunday (21 December 2014) featuring games, crafts and snacks.

We’ll set up tables with the different activities and if you have a craft or game idea you’d like to share, please let Susan Caldwell know.

14 December 2014 All-Ages Worship Service

Please join us on Sunday (14 December 2014) at 11:00 AM for “Who Is My Neighbor?”

This simple question asked of Jesus brought an answer that shaped his most important teachings.

XmasMenorahsJoin us as we explore the legacy of our Jewish and Christian Heritage and hear The Christmas Menorahs story — a modern tale of a community that remembered and put into practice the very best of both traditions.

A holiday party for children and youth will follow the service (before and during the Congregational Business Meeting at 12:30 PM).  Games, crafts, snacks, and gift-wrapping for the children receiving gifts through the PORTALS program offered by Community Support Programs, Inc.
