Effective 18 August 2013 — New Sunday Worship and Religious Education Schedule

Starting 18 August 2013, the Sunday schedule will be a full hour of Religious Education classes for children, youth, and adults (9:00 – 10:00 AM) with a half-hour break before we have our Sunday Worship (10:30 – 11:30 AM).

The Sunday Worship will be for all ages together in the sanctuary every Sunday.  We will still offer nursery care for all children under the age of 7 during the Sunday Worship.  The Religious Education classes for children and youth will cover the pre-school through high school age ranges — infants and toddlers will have nursery care during the Religious Education class time.

“Kindling the Flame Within” — 11:00 AM Worship Service for 2 June 2013.

Join the children, youth, and adults of the congregation — along with the All Souls Choir — to celebrate the light within each and every one of us and the ways in which we can share that light with the wider world.

This is also a time when we celebrate the transitions of our children and youth, the end of our pillar on Personal Spiritual Growth, and the end of the 2012-2013 Religious Education year.

Don’t forget that this is the Sunday to bring back your Guest At Your Table boxes or envelopes for the Unitarian Universalist Service Committee.  We will also take an additional collection for the Standing on the Side of Love Fund to benefit undocumented immigrant tornado victims in Oklahoma.
