Past Services

During this service we will honor the transitions and celebrations in the lives of our members through poetry and naming.  Help us mark family births and adoptions, bridging into adulthood, new members, member departures, weddings, and deaths. 

The spirit of Unitarian Universalism is helpfulness and sacrifice. How is helpfulness and sacrifice a reflection of our faith? Let us explore the history of our theological spirit and what our flaming chalice symbolizes for us today.

This candlelight service features the All Souls Junior Choir.

Humans are creatures of habit, so it’s easy for us to think about all the things we’ve done before. We’ve brushed our teeth many times before. We’ve come to church many times before. And yet, every new day is the first time this day has existed. So anything we’re doing today is really happening for the first time ever! The service will reflect on how newness can be both a challenge and a comfort.

Join in this family-oriented, candlelight service, as we bring the Christmas story to life through our Christmas pageant. Everyone will have a chance to participate through song, movement, and even enacting a character from the Jesus-birth narrative. We will bless each other by passing the light of our flaming candles as the service closes. With Rev. Anastassia, John Murphy, Sandy Reiberg, Sarah Cannon, Alex Milligan, and you!

Audre Lorde knew darkness as a place of liberation and creative emergence; one that counterposed the violence and oppression in the world. What can we understand about this darkness?

Join us this Sunday for a magical, multigenerational re-telling of Stone Soup. Audience participation will be expected so come ready to join in the fun. After service, we will gather for soup and celebration of this event that begins our holiday season.

Even before the election happened, one of the strong themes emerging at All Souls is a renewed desire to make an impact in our immediate neighborhood. Our building is in the heart of Ward 1, which is both the most ethnically diverse and the most compact ward in the city. With the new administration coming in, fear has already increased significantly. How can we re-commit ourselves to loving our neighbors?

Those who have confronted injustice have had a direct view of evil, and the most transformative leaders have responded with love, and that love calls us to draw the circle wide. Let us consider how love is prompting us to show up.

The campaigns are over. The votes have been cast. The results have been tallied. The US House of Representatives and the US Senate both have new members. And, in 71 days our new President-Elect will stand on the steps of the US Capitol to be sworn into office. Hmmm? What Do We Do Now? The World is watching. Our children are watching too. Let’s talk about making meaning, staying resilient and the next steps we’ll take as we move forward and claim our history.
