It requires 10-15 hours per week and pays a monthly stipend.

The 10 to the City info link wasn't working last week. Our apologies!! Here is a more current one. The results of the voting that took place after the service on November 18 in the 10 to the City process are linked. Final budgeting decisions for how to use 10% of the All Souls budget (our "tithe" to the City) based on the results of the process will be made by the Shepherding Team before the end of the year.
There were 6 of us caroling around Krutch Park. Another couple joined us, and gave Austin a $10 when they left! Several folks stopped to listen as they left the ice skating rink, and they seemed to appreciate a "familiar carol." A lady from Fountain City joined us at the end because she loves the carols of Christmas and then she had cocoa with us. Hope the group grows in size next year---the city needs to hear the name of Jesus at Christmas time, and all the time.

If you are a mom with a fussy baby, we now have a TV in the prayer chapel that streams the service so you don't have to miss anything.
If you would like for the church to send you out with prayer during the worship service if you're moving or going on a mission trip contact Jesse at jesse.s.watkins@gmail.com.
