All Souls Responds to Situation in Haiti

All Souls Community Church of West Michigan will respond to the situation in Haiti. All Souls has organized a special collection for All Souls to generously support relief efforts in Haiti through the work of the UU Service Committee. In addition, on Valentines Day, bring a clean teddy bear to the service, where the children of All Souls will collect them, and will help  Blare Gooch, a Grand Rapids 7th grader, donate the teddy bears to spread comfort and love to children in Haiti.

 

The Unitarian Universalist Association and the UU Service Committee have launched a joint earthquake relief fund to help the survivors. Working closely with local grass roots partners, this fund will focus on responding to survivors less likely to have access to aid, such as child domestic workers, women single heads of household and people with AIDS.

 

For more information and to contribute to this joint earthquake relief fund, go to: www.uusc.org

In Memoriam

The Reverend Suzanne Meyer has long been a friend of All Souls Community Church, filling our pulpit as our very first Mid-Winter Lecturer in February 2006. During her time with us, friendships developed and ties were established. Suzanne was a colleague of Rev. Dr. Brent Smith at All Souls in Tulsa, and served UU Congregations in Atlanta, St. Louis and Cheyenne. She was one of Unitarian Universalism's finest preachers and writers.

Regretfully, Suzanne died on the afternoon of Jan 23.

The Cheyenne, Wyoming, UU congregation (http://www.uucheyenne.org/) has set up the Suzanne Meyer Compassionate Assistance Fund at Well Fargo Bank. Anyone wishing to make a contribution of any amount to this fund may send a check or money order made out to The Suzanne Meyer Compassionate Assistance Fund (indicating Donation Fund in the memo section of the check) to:

Wells Fargo Bank
1701 Capitol Avenue
Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001

Contributions made to this account are a gift and are therefore are NOT tax deductible.

I hold it true, whate'er befall;
I feel it, when I sorrow most;
'Tis better to have loved and lost
Than never to have loved at all.

IN MEMORIAM A. H. H by Alfred lord Tennyson

All Souls Community Church is a church dedicated to religion, but not to a creed. It is a liberal religious community of free individuals of all ages walking together in relationship to one another, to our larger community and to the transcending mystery of the universe. Our community is based on open communication, democratic process and a belief in the capacity for goodness in all people. Out spiritual health and our growth as a church community are intimately connected with the spiritual growth and development of our children. We pledge to develop out church community with this always in mind. This church aims at celebrating and cultivating community, a sense of inquiry, moral character and insight, religious freedom, and helpfulness to humanity - that is, it aims at liberating and cultivating the human spirit.
