Upcoming Events
Icons at All Souls
This four-part series on iconology explores how icons communicate theology, spirituality, and prayer through image. Together we will look at the history, symbolism, and visual language of icons, while spending time with four contemporary icons created for All Souls. Each session will focus on a different icon, offering an opportunity to reflect on how sacred images can invite us into deeper contemplation of God, the saints, and our own spiritual lives.
Join us in the Parish Hall at 9:15 am on the following Sundays: October 4, 11, 18, and 25. Classes will be led by the Rev. Dr. Paul Fromberg.

Beer Garden Meet-up
One Thursday a month, All Soulsians meet up at a different beer garden to connect - for a drink, a bite, a chat, a game, etc. Beer gardens are ideal because they have plenty of family-friendly, outdoor space and are casual enough that anyone can drop by for a spell as they are able. This is an all-ages, intergenerational event—we would love to see everyone there!

We hope you will gather with us as we celebrate the saints and souls of All Souls Parish.

Christian Perspectives on Money
Christian Perspectives on Money is a three-session Sunday school series exploring what the Bible — and particularly the teachings of Jesus — has to say about our relationship with money, from the broadest social level down to our own wallets and our church community. We begin by examining how money functions in society, considering how the economic world of Jesus' day compares to our own, and asking how his teachings remain powerfully relevant across that divide. In the second session, we turn inward to explore our personal relationship with money: considering money as a tool whose use reveals our deepest values, and taking up practical questions about ethical investing. Finally, we zoom out to look at the church itself — tracing the many creative ways congregations have sustained themselves throughout history, and reflecting on how a community's choices about funding its church are themselves an act of faith and shared values.
Join us in the Parish Hall at 9:15 am on the following Sundays: Aug. 30, Sept. 6, and 13. Classes will be led by Sarah Reynolds, Jenn Ying, and Richard Lynch.
