Please join us on Sunday (20 December 2020) at 11:00 AM for “Three Wise Penguins and Other Holiday Legends: Stories from All Souls.”
Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.
We will have a virtual coffee hour after the service on Zoom.
And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
Our family religious education Zoom class is taking a holiday break as well, but watch this space and other communication on Facebook and Slack from All Souls for news on the winter holiday edition of the kids play day on Zoom.
This was the creation of Eva Kate Peck and was a big hit last time — stay tuned for more details.
Please email Susan Caldwell (All Souls Director of Religious Education) if you want to know when the next play date is happening.
Please join us on Sunday (20 December 2020) at 9:30 AM for our adult religious education class (please note the time change).
We will be meeting via Zoom.
We are taking a bit of a break from structed class and curriculum for the next two weeks but not a break from our time with each other.
In order not to go two whole weeks without visiting each other and seeing each other’s faces, we will get together during the holiday weekend Sundays at 9:30 AM (a slightly later time for check-in only and of whatever free-form discussion might evolve in the time we have).
Even if you’re not one of the regular class participants, you are more than welcome to join us and become a part of this kind, funny, supportive and positively brilliant group.
Think of it as a virtual coffee hour before church or a youth group for adults — join us at the link provided above.

The group is free and open to all.

For this Sunday, we welcome anyone who would like to attend and ask questions about the eight principle [although we do encourage you to read this FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) document first because you may find that your questions have already been answered by the FAQ].
We also recommend that you watch the 18 October 2020 worship service presented by the youth on the eighth principle.
