20 December 2015 All-Ages Worship

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.
