What's Up at All Souls
2025-26 Generosity Campaign Update: Roars Out of the Gate
Celebration Sunday kicked off our 2025-26 annual pledge drive with a bang last week as 119 people made their pledges, including 31 first-time pledgers and 13 recommitted pledges (who have pledged for the first time after an absence of at least a year). Early returns are very encouraging, with an average pledge increase of more than 17%!
Please consider your commitment to the work of All Souls, and invest as generously as you can to help us continue to provide a loving and resilient community in troubled times.
Sprucing Up In Spring
Your Building Committee is working hard to beautify the courtyard space and the steeple netting. The architect will submit the final design for the courtyard in March, and there will be some very noticeable activity happening around the netting on the 16th Street side of the church. Starting March 31-April 5, there will be some spring sprucing of the netting and liner. Unfortunately, the netting cannot be removed until the steeple is repaired, but crews will be on-site to replace the unsightly black liner with a beige-colored liner to better blend with the columns of the church.
