Worship this Week

In Between Then and Tomorrow
Rev. Cheryl M. Walker
February 16, 2025 @ 10:30 AM EST—We are always living in the in-between time. Between what has been and what shall become. What has been cannot be changed. What shall become is unknown. We only have the in-between time to interpret the past and shape tomorrow. What can we use to anchor us and inspire us in shaping the tomorrow of Unitarian Universalism?
ASL interpretation is provided during worship services.

8th Principle
We, the members of All Souls Church Unitarian, covenant to affirm and promote journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other forms of oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.
Listen to All Souls’ Revere bell toll for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.
