Worship

Worship is the glowing center of our congregational life. Enlivened with music, story, and sacred text drawing from the world’s faith traditions, it is “time to pay attention to one’s life” – as a wise congregant once described – and to shore up strength for the week ahead. At All Souls we remind ourselves and each other that “church” is really what happens when we leave the building and use what we have received at All Souls to bless the world.




Month by month, All Souls’ services are guided by “ministry themes.”
Each Sunday, the worship leader considers the theme from a different angle than the week before.


Worship Themes 2023 – 2024
We chose the values in the proposed UUA Article II Revisions as our monthly
worship themes as we Unitarian Universalists now rethink how best to express and live our values.
We mapped them to relevant months and identified prompts available for services.
We assigned the nine months (Sep - May) with the six values/themes in the revision
using two of them twice and adding a final composite theme of Love.

September – Transformation

October – Pluralism

November – Equity

December – Generosity

January – Justice

February - Love

March – Justice

April – Transformation

May – Interdependence

Summer services start the last weekend of June and run through Labor Day.  Children from kindergarten through fourth grade gather for “Summer Fun and Games”. Children fifth grade and older are encouraged to attend the service – lighter in nature and shorter in the summertime.

Music is an important aspect of our services. Our choir is 25 voices strong (and always happy to welcome new singers - no audition is required!). We are a singing congregation! A wide range of musical genres enhances our worship experience. 
 
Coffee hour follows the service. Newcomers are encouraged to stay and visit the Welcome Table which is staffed by congregants who looked forward to meeting you and contains materials on Unitarian Universalism and All Souls.  

Welcome to All Souls! We look forward to welcoming you to Unity Hall on Sunday morning!
