Partners in Housing

Our friends at Partners in Housing are in need of paper products such as paper towels, bathroom tissue, napkins, etc. They could also use cleaning supplies like dish soap, scouring powder, glass cleaner, etc. These items are stocked in the store where their families can shop free, thus helping to stretch their grocery money. A donation box is in the hall just outside the door to the great hall and your support will be appreciated.

Walking the Walk

All Souls is proud to be participating in this year’s Colorado Springs Pridefest! In preparation for this joyous event, we will be having a sign and button making evening at the church, 5:30-7:30pm on Friday 6/28. Bring your poster board, your markers and your positivity and we’ll create together in preparation for the parade and festival in July! Watch this space for more information regarding Pridefest in the near future.

 

Plant Sale

We will be hosting a plant sale after church 11:30am-1pm on Sunday, 6/30. The event will be outside and will cover a wide variety of plants to purchase. This is a win win situation; you can pot up plants from those overgrown areas in your yard, eliminate the extra seedlings from the veggie seed packets and clear a bed for a different planting scheme. We need people to help by providing plants for the sale, but we will also need help setting up, running and clearing after the sale. That will give you an opportunity to scout out purchases for those unexpected bare spots that popped up after this unusual winter and spring. Next week look for an announcement with a sign up link. It is important to know what plants are coming and how much help we will have. The proceeds will go to repairing the sprinkler system for the yard and gardens.

For information please contact Becky Harrison at or 719-540-9072.

 

Deeksha For All Souls

Ancient wisdom from many spiritual traditions tells us that what we experience in our external world is a direct reflection of our internal world. We have the option of living in a suffering state or a beautiful state; both are attainable, the choice is ours. Living in a beautiful state requires living in a higher state of consciousness; moving from I-consciousness to One-consciousness. Deeksha is a transference of energy that facilitates transformation into these higher states of consciousness. Please come join us every first and third Mondays from 7:00 – 8:30 pm in the gathering space in the basement at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church. From the founders of O&O Academy: “It doesn’t matter what the reasons are, all suffering is stupid.” Click here for more information.

 

Ukulele Club

One thing that we can all agree upon in the New Year is that we don’t take enough time for self-care and music can be a remedy for the most troubled soul. Take a little time out of your busy schedule 6-7 pm every third Wednesday of the month for All Souls’ Ukulele Club. We will watch tutorials and help one another learn how to play one of the world’s sweetest instruments. With only four strings and a bit of ambition, we will de-stress, have fun, and who knows: maybe learn how to play the ukulele. Please email ASUUC member Rosie Love with any questions.

 

Art Club Meeting

Fellow artists, come join our group. This gathering is meant to be friendly, relaxed, fun, and of course… creative!!  Bring in your favorite art supplies and a brown bag lunch. 2nd & 4th Thursdays at ASUUC. Creative time will be 10:00 AM – 11:30 AM, followed by a social lunch. Please email Pam Brown with your contact information (name and phone number) if you are interested.

 

Domestic Violence and Sexual Assault Women’s Support Group

Connecting with fellow survivors and having a safe place to release emotion and share our stories can be an essential part of healing from domestic and/or sexual violence. All Souls is providing a safe space for a secular women’s survivor support group 6-7pm every third Thursday of the month in the Small Hall. If you are interested in attending, please email ASUUC member Rosie Love to be put on the attending list. Given the sensitive nature of this group and for the safety of our survivors, the church will be locked and attendees will only be permitted entry if they are on the attending list.
 

Hoop it up!

Suset Marcantoni will be teaching a hula hoop class to all levels of hoopers at ASUUC. The class will run each Friday from 5:30-6:30pm. In recent years hooping has become popularized as a fitness regimen which can build strength, balance, and flexibility, while burning calories and building cardiovascular strength. A study by the American Council on Exercise found that a thirty-minute hooping workout can burn around 200 calories. All ages welcome, no experience needed. If you are under 16, you must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Classes will be limited to the first ten (10) people to sign up. Hoops are provided, but feel free to bring your own. The class is free, although donations are gladly accepted with 50% going to the cost of materials and the other 50% going to All Souls UU Church. Click here to RSVP.
