You've been looking
for a church like this.
Join a progressive religious community in the heart of Washington DC.
“Giving, receiving as love shows us how.” The familiar hymn makes the case. The Spirit of Life calls us to wake, to feel its power in our individual lives, and to imagine all that’s possible when we come together as we do in this church called All Souls.
Generosity is less obligation than opportunity, because giving and receiving are both parts of a spiritual journey that makes love real in our lives.
Make your pledge to All Souls for the 2023-24 fiscal year (July 1, 2023 – June 30, 2024), today!
Welcome!
All Souls is a progressive religious community in the heart of DC,
at the intersection of Mt. Pleasant, Adams Morgan, and Columbia Heights.
We walk diverse paths to find meaning and purpose but are united by our belief in the worth and dignity of all, and the obligation to express our faith through acts of justice and compassion. Join us as we create a diverse, spirit-growing, justice-seeking beloved community that’s true to our name, All Souls!
Rev. Bill Sinkford:
Why We Call This Faith
December 3, 2023 | 10:30 am | Hybrid
Unitarianism was created as a religion of reason, unafraid of new knowledge from science or sociology. But reason is not the only way of knowing that we embrace. Wholeness asks us to believe in things unseen, things most certainly not yet made manifest. Religion invites us into the space where hope is justified and where love wins.
Join us for this hybrid, ASL interpreted worship service with music from the All Souls Choir and Keith Arnold! Afterward, stay on the same Zoom link for social hour or come to Pierce Hall for Coffee Hour!
10:30 am. Worship with us on Zoom (through the red button below) or in person (masking is optional).
Religious Education for Children and Youth is in-person during the service. More information on our Children and Youth Religious Education webpage.
11:45 am (or shortly after worship ends):
- In-Person Fellowship and Coffee Hour. Join us in Pierce Hall after worship ends to catch up in person with other members of the congregation. New to All Souls? Welcome! Please use a red mug/cup and look for the Welcoming Corner.
- Virtual Coffee Hour. Stay on the Zoom call and join us for a social hour, a chance to catch up, talk about the service, discuss whatever comes to mind. New to All Souls? Welcome! Please use a red mug or wear a red shirt so we can greet you!
Our virtual congregation meets on Zoom, with the ‘doors’ opening at 10:15am. You may click the red button to join, or dial in: 301.715.8592; meeting ID: 91875814433.
After the service (within 2-3 days), we will post a video recording on our archived services page. The view is from the balcony to the pulpit and front of the Sanctuary.
Please note that the pews and those seated on the main floor may be visible in the recording. If you do not wish to be on the recording, please sit in the balcony.
