Green Sanctuary Action Plan
The Green Sanctuary Action Plan for All Souls is online here.
The Green Sanctuary Program, originally nurtured and managed by the Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth, was designed to give roots and wings to the vision that, together, we can create a world in which all people make reverence, gratitude, and care for the living Earth that is central to our lives.
Voluntary participation in the Green Sanctuary Program provides a framework for congregations and congregants to proclaim and live out their commitment to the Earth.

Storm Damage Update (15 May 2008)
On Tuesday (13 May 2008), All Souls experienced storm damage to the building and trees from the heavy winds and rain.
If you have a window fan, please label it with your name and bring it to the church on Friday between 10:30 AM and 4:00 PM.
Stanley Steemer is here right now extracting the rest of the water from the carpeting, but they recommend we use fans to keep the air circulating. They would normally be able to provide industrial fans, but theirs are already in use at other locations. We are hoping to have the carpets dry by Sunday morning.
We need help cutting up and hauling away the three trees that fell in the parking lot. Barbara Jarrell and the Walker family will be here Friday morning at 10:00 AM to start that job. If you can help, contact Barbara at 797-1957, email her at hoodathunkit@comcast.net, or just show up.

Our History
Note: for an excellent summary of general Unitarian Universalist history, please read Unitarian Universalist Origins: Our Historic Faith by Mark W. Harris.
The history of All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church and Fellowship is a story of repeatedly making the apparently impossible possible, of overcoming insurmountable odds. It should be told, so that everyone may share in the sense of continuity, growth, responsibility and accomplishment that those who have been part of our history feel keenly. Our present-day congregation has its roots in a romance and marriage in the late 1940s.
