Joshua Peterson's father passed away unexpectedly (at age 59) this past weekend in Dallas.  Josh is the oldest child (siblings by his father are all teenagers), and there is no spouse.  So the settling of the estate, funeral arrangements, etc. falls to him.  Please pray for safety for Josh & Amelia (and baby) as they travel to Dallas, and for peace, comfort, and strength for the Peterson family.

Spiritual Disciplines Teachings

All Souls cherishes the ancient practices of the church. In an effort to catalogue and teach many of these practices, we hope to make the teachings easily available in bite-sized chunks. The first of these efforts was our Psalm Writing discipline during Lent (Susanne Hassell and Doug Banister taught on it on March 9, 2014. Listen here ). The entire Psalms of Lament series continued to develop how the Hebrew writers used this practice that we can use today.

 Our second effort centers on breath prayers, aligning the routine of our breathing with prayers to our Loving God.

Check out Doug's new article in the Knoxville News-Sentinel on sex trafficking in Knoxville and the play in the Square Room on May 30th on sex trafficking, "Princess Cut." Check out the details of the play below in Community Involvement, or in the article. 

 

This summer in Sunday School the children will be studying the Lord's Prayer.  We will learn the Lord's Prayer song from the Rain for Roots Cd called "The Kingdom of Heaven is Like This".  We will also learn a couple of other songs from this cd over the coming months, so if you would like to order or download it for your family, it can be found at rainforroots.bandcamp.com

Global SEEDS is sending its newest venture team, Green Leaf, to North Africa for the summer. Dan and Mary Butler will host this team of four adults and two children. The goal of the trip is to create relationships among the Imazighen people. The team will also be involved in research to understand better the spiritual dynamics of the region while recording further insights into the folk religion found there. If you are interested in prayerfully following the journey through the summer or investing financially, please email dan@globalseeds.org.

 

 

 

Congrats on graduating Allie Eber and Carolyn Carpenter!

Starting June 1st, the baby nursery will be moving next door to the current nursery. Email Melanie Leach for questions at keepingheart@gmail.com

 

Check out Paul Hassell's beautiful new website, "Alive" through his company, Light Finds.

"How we take photos is frequently discussed. Why we take them is not.

For any real change in the world, the person behind the camera must be affected first. Photography is a wild adventure. It's a journey of personal transformation.

Listen to the collaborative voice of photographers who shoot because it awakens them to the experience of being ALIVE."

 

Do you have an opportunity that a small fund will advance your efforts to seek the peace in the city?  Perhaps an All Souls grant, up to $500, could help.  Download Application here and submit to Marie Alcorn.  

 

Happy Birthday Josiah and Christin York!

knoxvillecommunityCommunity Involvement 

All Souls does not take formal positions on doctrinal or ethical positions outside of the Creed. We do, however, support our people as they, under the authority of scripture, in prayer and through community, discern the way of Christ in our world. Following Augustine, we believe in essentials, unity, in non-essentials, charity and in all things love.  We celebrate all the diverse ways our members  follow Christ in the world, even when we disagree with one another. Announcements in the update reflect the many ways our people are serving God in our community. They do not reflect All Souls' endorsement of a particular issue, doctrinal position, or cause.    


Congratulations Hannah and Jordan Houser, who got married last night

All Souls offers several classes for children during our Sunday evening service on the third floor.  There is a nursery for babies under the age of one and a class for 1 to 2-year olds that meets during the whole service on the third floor. Children between the ages of 3 and 11 stay for the first part of the service and then come upstairs for a time of Bible stories, songs and fun. Contact Melanie Leach at 865-705-9482 or keepingheart@gmail.com.      

Happy Birthday Carolyn Coley!

New City Events...from Kenny Woodhull 

 

Summer

is great for vacations, a time to rest and refresh, usually in an environment or setting different from our work-a-day world.At their best, these times carry elements of sabbatical and reflection.

 

The Tennessee Smokies Baseball team markets their games as "a nine inning vacation," a chance to kick back and enjoy the best game on the planet played with exceptional skill by professionals-some of whom will be Major League stars in a few years.    Yes, I'm unashamedly biased toward baseball! 

 

In a similar vein, a lot of the entertainment we bring to the Square Room at Cafe4 is purposed to provide a mini-vacation of sorts, a respite in which to enjoy both emerging and accomplished artists and also push pause and get recalibrated at the intersection of art and life.

 

Sometimes the recharge happens as we get lost in the metaphors and melodies of a master singer-songwriter like David Wilcox (www.davidwilcox.com) an experienced pro who will weave narrative and music through the course of an evening like no other on May 22.

 

Sometimes re-orientation occurs in the Square Room through a provocative work like Princess Cut, a locally written theatrical production that premiers May 30, and will tell the disturbing yet hopeful story of a girl once enslaved in a sex traffic ring here in Knoxville.

 

Or perhaps that moment of clarity will come in the context of an up-close and personal performance of a favorite song from a homegrown talent like Dave Barnes on July 24 (www.davebarnes.com) or the soulful execution of a Grammy winning artist like Knoxville's own Ashley Cleveland (www.ashleycleveland.com) on August 28.

 

Or maybe, that new found sense of perspective will accrue to you over a meal in the Square Room's 'dinner theatre' production of Neil Simon's classic "Barefoot in the Park," on August 7-8.

 

Whatever it is and wherever it might be, my hope is that one way or another you'd find a way-and the arts are a great way-to slow yourself down this summer and be reminded of what is most important.For a full calendar of events in the Square Room at Cafe4, please visit www.thesquareroom.com.And don't forget to hit the refresh button.
