Bring all the family this time right into the sanctuary and join us for this celebration of our nonhuman companions who occupy the interdependent web with us.
Please bring your pet on a leash or in a carrier as even the most docile of pets can behave unpredictably in new situations.

This will be an all-ages worship service (no children and youth religious education classes).

Please join us on 20 September 2015 at 11:00 AM for “It’s OK to Be Angry: The Philosophy of Cold Anger” by Lady Carlson (lead organizer for Northern and Central Louisiana Interfaith).
Often, the things we see that need changing in our society can make us angry. The kind of anger needed to make changes through organizing is not a hot, humorless, raging anger, but a cool and focused anger — tempered with humor and powered by the sustained energy of a committed community, working together.
Lady is always a powerful and inspiring speaker and we are blessed and excited to welcome her back. The All Souls Choir will sing.
