We begin with a brief service in the sanctuary, continue with an inclusive bread and water Thanksgiving communion in the social hall, conclude with a huge potluck feast.
Our communion is based on a theme of unity, abundance for all, and freedom from hunger. This communion has no theological exclusivity.
Our children and youth will remain with us for the worship service, communion, and meal on this Sunday.

As we begin our pillar of emphasis on our Jewish and Christian Heritage, we look at some new currents in Christian thought that might help us to re-frame ideas from the Christian tradition — in some cases ideas carried over from childhood and in other cases simply ideas that are foreign to those who have not grown up with them.

Please join us on Sunday (22 October 2017) at 11:00 AM for “Fine and Flawed, Proud and Problematic” presented by the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.
On 15 and 22 October 2017, Unitarian Universalist congregations across North America have been revisiting the #uuwhitesupremacyteachin that began last spring.
Originally spurred by a hiring decision at the denominational level that revealed a pattern of white supremacy in hiring decisions, the original purpose of the teach-in was to take an honest look at the way white supremacy culture has affected not only the world outside our doors but also the more subtle ways it has been present within our faith tradition as well.
Our history of working for justice is a proud one in many ways but part of beginning to heal the wounds of institutional racism is looking honestly at those wounds — seeing them for what they are, and acknowledging our own complicity.
In this service, the children and youth will look at ways we go forward and build a better world for all of us.
