Our focus this church year is on regathering, December’s worship theme is Presence, and the winter holidays are a wonderful excuse to be present, together! 

Toy Collection - November 14 to December 9

Each year, All Souls collects toys to be distributed by La Clinica del Pueblo, during their annual Posada celebration. The church hosts this event for our community partner, with children and their families enjoying music, food, games, and more! This year La Posada will be held on December 10, 2022.

This means our toy collection starts early this year! We will have donations bins in the Reeb Lobby and by the 16th Street doors (inside) beginning November 14 to December 9. Or, you may purchase a toy online to be sent directly to La Clinica.

It’s a mini-party! Come to the All Souls Sanctuary on December 6th at 5:30pm to help trim the tree! We’ll listen to holiday music, maybe sing a few carols, fill the tree branches with light and cheer, then head to the Reeb Lobby to decorate cookies! The Children’s Choir will be leading the charge, but we’ll need the help of folx not afraid of climbing a ladder to get those hard to reach upper branches! 

Join us for this Intergenerational activity, for children and children at heart!
