Worship at All Souls

Deists, atheists, agnostics, questioners, doubters, and the curious. All are invited to the table of love and community.

Worship

Join us for worship on Sunday mornings at 10:30 in person (please bring proof of vaccination and a mask to wear while in the building) or online (Zoom link is on our homepage). Composed of inspiring words and stirring music, our services seek to provide spiritual sustenance for our living.

We also gather monthly for a Vespers service, on the second Wednesday of every month (September through June), at 7:30 pm. Vespers is modeled after the traditional Taizé worship service which uses silence, scripture, prayer, and repetitive singing of short chants and rounds to quiet the mind and promote deep meditation.  The Vespers service also meets online via Zoom. 

The Taizé Community, an ecumenical monastic order in France, was founded in 1940 to promote peace and justice through prayer and meditation. This All Souls Vespers service mirrors Taizé-style attention to silence, holy words, prayer, and singing, but has also evolved to include other meditative traditions such as yogic singing and Buddhist chanting. For more information, please contact MJ Crom.

For those whose worship style is even more meditative, Mindful Souls meet weekly at the church for meditation followed by discussion. Find more information here.

Our worship themes are reflected in the first Sunday of the month and then woven throughout the month via the Story for All Ages, readings, music or reflections from the worship associates.  We also will use them to frame Adult Spiritual Development programs and Children’s Religious Educational opportunities.
