2017 Pledge Drive
At All Souls, we endeavor to build a diverse and strong community of people that share a common vision of liberal religion.
Being united by covenant rather than by creed, we find ourselves bound to each other in our daily lives.
It is important therefore to develop a strong community intentionally and bind ourselves fast to each other so that we can all be stronger for it.

Monster Cookie Swap (11 December 2016)
Bring a batch of cookies to swap — make one recipe of your own and take home a variety of cookies.
If you don’t bake, that’s even better. You can make a donation to All Souls in lieu of providing cookies. Or you can do both — bring cookies and make a donation.
There are always tons of cookies available — treat yourself to dessert or use them as neighbor / teacher gifts.
Drop your cookies off in the Social Hall prior to the worship service. The cookie swap will be open before and after the Congregational Meeting.
