Please join us on Sunday (3 November 2019) at 11:00 AM for “Companions for the Journey” with Rebecca Tuggle, Diana Teeters, and Ken Peterson.
Join three of our members as they talk about the journeys that brought them here, the reasons they stay, and where they are on their respective spiritual paths.
Religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service. Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.
Please join us on Sunday (27 October 2019) at 11:00 AM for “Returning to All Souls: A Celebration of Dia de Los Muertos (The Day of the Dead)” with Lee Spruell and Virginia Villarreal.
We are thankful and honored to welcome back Lee Spruell to our sanctuary, who will once again share his family’s celebration of the Day of the Dead, as has been celebrated in Mexico for years.
You are invited to bring a picture of a departed loved one to place on the ofrenda.
Although the theme is death, the Day of the Dead is not considered a solemn or spooky holiday. It is not Halloween.
In many traditions, this is the time of year to feel closer to those who have departed this world, and the celebration is for the expression of our love and joy at having known them.
Religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service. Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.
Please join us on Sunday (20 October 2019) at 11:00 AM for “That All Souls Shall Grow into Harmony with the Sacred” with the children, youth and adults of All Souls.
For the past 8 weeks, our children and youth have been delving more deeply into the words we say every week in our Unison Affirmation.
Why do we say that love is our doctrine and service is our prayer?
Why is it important to seek knowledge in freedom?
And what does it mean to us to grow into harmony with the sacred?
What is sacred?
And by the way, who wrote those words in the first place?
Come and hear a few of the answers, and even more questions!
Our children and youth will also be introducing upcoming service projects and your chance to participate.
