Please join us on Saturday (18 October 2025) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.

This group will be meeting via Zoom and not in person.

This is a sitting Buddhist meditation including a brief introduction to mindfulness meditation, 20 minutes of sitting, and followed by a weekly teaching.

For this Sunday (12 October 2025), our children and youth religious education class will continue the theme of  “How We Do UU” by exploring “Equity — Mary Safford and The Prophetic Sisterhood.”

Continuing the exploration of our shared Unitarian Universalist values, our children and youth will focus on equity and a story from our Unitarian Universalist history about a group of women ministers at a time when women”weren’t supposed to be ministers.”

These women rode west and either found or founded their own churches — often encountering difficult conditions and stiff opposition to do so.

The class will explore the idea of finding their own prophetic voices.

Sleep in a little on this Sunday and next Sunday (12 and 19 October 2025) — then rejoin us in two weeks (Sunday, 26 October 2025).

On Sunday (26 October 2025), we will begin our study of Understanding the Bible: A Guide for Skeptics, Seekers, and Religious Liberals by former Unitarian Universalist Association President Rev. John Buerhens.

Books should be available at church by Sunday, 19 October 2025.

If possible, pick up a copy and read the first section entitled “Before We Begin.”

Our adult religious education class is now a dual-platform class — meeting in person in the church social hall and also on Zoom.

For this Sunday, we will discuss “Who Are These People?”

After our brief tour of Unitarian Universalist history last week, we challenged the group to look into some of the people who’ve shaped our Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist history.

This week, we will see who captured their interest and learn more about the people who made us who we are.

Next Sunday is the Feast of St. Francis in the Catholic tradition and our annual blessing of the animals worship service one of our most beloved services at All Souls.

For this Sunday, the children and youth will help plan their parts of next Sunday’s worship service which will celebrate our shared Unitarian Universalist values and how they inspire us to care for the animals who share our earthly home

For this Sunday, we will watch the video “The History of Unitarian Universalism in 15 Minutes or Less” followed with a discussion.

This is a rescheduling of last Sunday’s adult religious education class that was cancelled due to building electrical issues.
