Join the Rev. Michael Lemaire as we will finish our survey of the gospels with the Gospel of Matthew. As we have with the other gospels, we will examine the authorship, theology, and history of this book. We will read some of the unique parables and lessons found in this gospel, noting its particular take on discipleship. The last class will be an overview and wrap-up of all the gospels on a comparative basis. If you have not been able to attend any of the other classes, you may find this overview a beginning rather than an end. Class meets in the Parish Hall at 9:15 am on the following Sundays: Nov. 30th, Dec. 7, 14, 21.

Please join us for three consecutive Wednesday evenings in the season of Advent, as we gather in the Parish Hall for a heartwarming evening of soup followed by the peaceful and luminous Holden Evening Prayer.

The End: Body, Mind, and Soul

Death is one of life's few certainties, yet it's a topic many of us avoid discussing until crisis forces our hand. We will tackle these important conversations head-on with a three-part series titled "The End: Mind, Body, Soul". 

Whether you're 30 or 80, planning for end-of-life is one of the most loving gifts you can give yourself and your family. Too often, families find themselves making difficult decisions without knowing their loved one's wishes, or discover that the absence of proper legal documents creates unnecessary stress, expense, and conflict during an already difficult time.

Each Sunday will focus on a different dimension of end-of-life planning, with Richard Lynch facilitating conversations centered on the preparing for life's final chapter. Class meets in the Parish Hall on the following Sundays: November 9th, 16th, and 23rd.

One Thursday a month, All Soulsians will meet up at a different beer garden in Berkeley. All are welcome to come for a drink, a bite, a chat, or to play chess. 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. But this is an all-ages, intergenerational event—we would love to see everyone there.
