When you send information, please only include those two things.- If you're not there to make the announcement, it won't be made.Thank you!!Youth Group Meeting
Sunday, June 9th
Immediately after service
Conference Room
We will meet for 45 minutes to an hour Mary Baldridge will be offering a course which will examine both pilgrimage and mysticism and will take the participant on a mystical and physical pilgrimage - body, soul, and spirit - toward a closer connection with God, through reading, walking, prayer and contemplation. The pilgrimage component will consist of a virtual pilgrimage along the Camino de Santiago. Participants will be encouraged to walk daily (and intentionally) and to complete certain virtual "stages" of the Camino de Santiago by achieving certain distance goals. By the end of the course, participants who have stayed on target will receive a virtual "Compostela" (certificate acknowledging that they have completed their virtual Camino). However, the journey does not stop with the physical because pilgrimage is not primarily a physical journey. The pilgrim/mystic will also learn about mysticism, from its origins and history in Christianity to the methods that have been used by mystics to open themselves to connection with God. The ultimate goal will be for participants to take a contemplative pilgrimage, through prayer and meditation, toward a closer connection with God and with the Holy Spirit that resides in him/her as a Christian. Those who are interested should contact Mary at: mbaldridge@cn.edu. Dates: every Thursday night, July 11-August 15, 6:30-8:00 p.m. Location: 4 Market Square on the 3rd floor (Room is to be Determined) Mary Baldridge Chair of Philosophy, Linguistics, and World Languages Carson-Newman University  | | Welcome Hannah Williams, who just joined All Souls! |
Invitation to the Worship Design Team MeetingI invite you to join our new Worship Design Team to discuss our services. Each week, a growing number of people pour themselves into designing our gatherings to serve our body. The Worship Design Team celebrates those things that serve our body well. It seeks to know how we can continue and grow to connect more deeply. It's open to you if you would like to be a part of this discussion. This month, we meet on Tuesday, June 11, from 12-2pm in the 3rd floor Chapel at 4 Market Square. Let me know you're attending and I'll get you lunch. --Jesse ( jesse@allsoulsknoxville.com) Please keep in your prayers:- Families struggling with the care of aging parents. - Mike and Christine Fitzgerald. Christine's sister Kathie passed away recently after a long struggle with breast cancer. - Marriages struggling in the body.
New Class on the Gospel of Mark, led by Stephen Otis, Starts June 25th!
When: Tuesdays, 6:00-8:00 pm (June 25th-September 10th)
What: The gospel of Mark is the announcement of the work and truth of Jesus Christ in response to the persecutions in Rome under the cruel dictatorship of Nero. Victory and authority over darkness (chaos) and hope in the eternal kingdom are readily present themes. The class will dive into the gospel of Mark through reading, study, lecture, dialogue, meditation and prayer. Come soak in the Word (healing) of God and learn about Jesus Christ through the reading of the Scripture in the common faith of brothers and sisters. Those who are spiritually seeking are also most welcome! It's gonna be a great time together of deep questioning, transformation and healing.

Thursday Mornings 9-12am Moms and volunteers from All Souls are going to partner up to provide a few hours of free and fun childcare on Thursday mornings in the All Souls Nursery this summer! Moms who are involved will watch the childre, but in order to have a safe and comfortable ratio for all those babies we also need some loving volunteers! The Thursday morning nursery will have at least 2 moms and 1 volunteer every week! We are hoping to get enough interest to fully staff Thursday mornings in June 20th through August 8! However, we need Moms AND volunteers! If you are able to TOTALLY bless some moms this summer we would LOVE to have your help.If you can't work 9-12, you could come and volunteer for half the shift - 9-10:30 or 10:30-12pm. If you are Mom interested in participating we would ALSO love to have you! There is still space for you! Moms, we will need to close sign ups by Thursday the 20th of June. If interested please try to sign up before then!
To make the transition from the worship service to the classroom easier we are going to dismiss the 2 - 6 year olds at the Passing of the Peace. We encourage the parents of the 2 year olds to come up with their child and help them get settled for a few weeks. When each child is comfortable coming upstairs by himself parents can just accompany their child to the front of the room when the children are dismissed. The 7-11 year olds will be dismissed at the usual time after the offering. We will enter the back of the church when it is time for communion. Parents please come to the back to get your child.
Small Group Grants Available$6000 was designated for small grants through the 10-to-the-City program. At this time the maximum amount of each grant is $500. To date we have had two requests. The criteria are that the funded effort should create incentives for servant leadership and/or result in community impact. Some suggested ways to apply the funds would be to cover the expenses of - An Amachi mentee going to CCDA (Christian Community Development Association)
- Youth to a summer experience such as a music camp or leadership training (not necessarily Christian-based)
- Home-schooling parents or students for an enrichment experience
- Prayer training
We ask you to put these funds to good work. The application is on the homepage of the website, www.allsoulsknoxville.com Approved expenses will be reimbursed upon submission of receipts. Marie Alcorn; marie.alcorn@yahoo.com; 865-679-3048  | Welcome Marvin Burgess!

Be an Amachi Mentor with Knoxville Leadership Foundation!
"More than a program, [Amachi] is the passionate response to the needs of children with one or both parents in prison. These children are invisible to most of us. There are few viable programs to address the specific needs of the 'invisible' children. The Amachi program is designed to address these needs and later the potential negative direction of these children's lives. Through Amachi, mentoring matches are made and support is offered by Amachi partners and participating Amachi congregataions."
- Dr. Wilson Goode, Amachi National Founder

SHAREhouse, Artist & New City Events
The SHAREhouse is closed for the summer but will open back up in the Fall!
New City Events this Summer!
Thanks to you, our missional work through the Arts continues. In fact, because of your support and patronage-especially where the Square Room (www.thesquareroom.com) at Cafe4 is concerned-our capacity to creatively engage Knoxville culture for redemptive purposes is growing.
In June, the Square Room will cultivate a host of gifted local artists and organizations in the Jazz Lunch (June 6), a sneak peek of The WordPlayer's theatrical production, You're A Good Man Charlie Brown www.wordplayers.org (June 12), a much anticipated CD Release concert by local Jazz phenom, Wendel Werner (wendelwerner@fb, June 14), and an evening featuring the talents of Greg Adkins (www.gregadkinsonline.com), Adam Whipple (www.adamwhipple.com), and Bill Wolf (June 28)-indeed, come and be amazed as these three swap original songs and countless instruments during the evening. A final concert in June features Caleb, www.calebmusic.com (June 29), a progressive band that is quickly making a name for themselves in the region as impeccable musicians and songwriters-that they grew up under the tutelage of their father, Steven Curtis Chapman, helps set their musical maturity in context.
 | | Ben Bannister, Sarah and Brown |
In July and August, UK transplant David Clifton (www.littleroom.com) and the class of the local acoustic scene in Joey English will team up July 5. On July 13, International TV celebrity and outdoorsman Les Stroud of SurvivorMan (www.lesstroud.ca) fame will be with us. John Mark McMillan (www.johnmarkmcmillan.com), best known for his anthem "How He Loves," will bring his progressive sound to the Square Room July 17, followed a few days later by two gifted and well-liked local songwriters, Ben Bannister and Ethan Norman (panwild@fb). High summer programming concludes with one of the finest guitarists in the world, Phil Keaggy (August 9, www.philkeaggy.com) and Grammy nominee, Jennifer Knapp (August 16, www.jenniferknapp.com).
The Arts are a gift from God, and many of those we are working with this summer understand that. In their stewardship, the Arts reflect a demanding and joyful discipline. In their expression, they represent an invitation for all of us to explore truth and beauty-love and loss-in the deep places of our hearts and minds.
It's a privilege and responsibility to give evidence of God's kingdom in this way to artists and their audiences. I deeply appreciate your willingness to join us in this journey. Hope to see you over the summer in the Square Room at Café4.
