When we gather on the Sunday before Thanksgiving, several members of All Souls Church will share thoughts about things for which they are grateful. As we listen to each other’s stories, we will be reminded of the purpose and depth of our beloved community.

ASC Board Greeting Ron Niswander
Prelude: “Intermezzo” from Carmen Georges Bizet
Tom Baehr, flute; Eva Greene, piano
“As we gather together,
May we remember
When you share with me what is most important to you,
That is where listening begins.
When I show you that I hear you,
When I say your life matters,
That is where compassion begins.
May this space be a table
that is not complete
until all are welcome.
May this table be a space of beauty
where together
we create a series of miracles, and
where all that we share is sacred.
May it be so.”
