By request of the group (having finished our reading and study of The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Color-Blindness by Michelle Alexander) we will have a group discussion of where we go from here and what we can do as a congregation to call attention to the issue of mass incarceration and help to dismantle the racialized caste system that has resulted from its practice.
We will also look at future options for adult religious education.

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.
