Part of our purpose of being a community at All Souls is to welcome each other, sometimes in small ways and sometimes in large ways. Come be welcomed, and hear Rev.

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.

Rev. Rob KeithanMinister of Spiritual Growth and Justice
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?
