20 December 2015 All-Ages Worship
Please join us on Sunday (20 December 2015) at 11:00 AM for “The Gifts We Bring” — an all-ages worship.
The season of light is also the season of giving — yet the kind of giving encouraged by our consumerist society can leave many of us feeling not only depressed and inadequate but broke as well.
Join the children, youth and adults of All Souls for this Winter Holiday celebration of the gifts we can all learn to give, and to receive. The All Souls Choir will sing.
Please join us after the service for our all-ages holiday party.
BOLT Training — 19 December 2015
Please join us on Saturday (19 December 2015) at 11:30 AM for BOLT Training (BOLT = “Bearers of Light and Tradition”).
Our BOLTs are children and youth entrusted each Sunday with the lighting of the chalice and the reading and candle lighting celebrating the principles and sources we are lifting up during each season of our Unitarian Universalist liturgical year.
Children and youth of middle elementary grades through high school age are welcome to become BOLTs.
Requirements include reading and the ability and willingness to follow instructions and learn good techniques for speaking into the microphone, lighting the chalice, using the long candle lighter, and appropriate demeanor in the pulpit.

Our Discussion of Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow continues with Chapter 6 — “The Fire This Time” — which explores the multi-faceted strategies necessary to begin to address the problem of mass incarceration.
This will be our last class meeting for this book. After this Sunday, the adult religious education class will take a break until after the holiday season is over.
Two books are still available (cost $12.00). Also, if you want a book, you may have one. Don’t let the cost be an obstacle. You are welcome to buy or have a book whether or not you come to the class.
You are welcome to come to the class whether or not you are reading the book.
We have good discussions that stand on their own, although you will probably get more out of them if you do the reading.
