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.          

Marble City Opera is looking for available guest rooms for out-of-town singers this season.
The dates are Oct. 16-Nov.1, Jan 5-24, and Jan 12-30.  Email noelle.harb@gmail.com for more information.

Happy Birthday, Travetta!

 

Fall Retreat "Autumn: Season of Letting Go"

Saturday, September 13th - 9am-3pm

8420 Nubbin Ridge Rd.

Falling leaves show us that there must be a "letting go" to prepare space for new growth. God calls us to "die" that we might fully live. What outer clutter is holding you back? What inner worries, fears, busyness, or resentments are crowding out your joy?

There will be brief times of group sharing and worship but most of the day is spent alone in directed meditation and prayer, to "be still and know God." For more information or to register, see www.holypaths.org/retreats  

 

Happy Birthday, Amelia!!

 

Spiritual Direction Triads begin in September!

Groups of three meet every month for a year, helping serious disciples of Christ live into their best intentions.  "During a circle of trust...we speak our own truth; we listen receptively to the truth of others; we ask each other honest, open questions instead of giving counsel; and we offer each other the healing and empowering gifts of silence and laughter."  Parker Palmer, A Hidden Wholeness

Participants are often surprised at how the listening skills transfer into all their other relationships! If you are looking for "a safe place" to re-discover your true self, prayerfully consider joining us. For more information or to register, see: http://holypaths.org/spiritualdirection   

 

Christian Community Development Association (CCDA). September 24-27, Raleigh, NC. Contact Daniel Aisenbrey dcaisenbrey@gmail.com or Drew/Nikki Petty  daddypetty1@gmail.com, nikki.petty@gmail.com for details if you would like more information or are interested in attending.

Movies on Market Square

September 12th - October 17th
Bring a blanket or a lawn chair and join hundreds of others under the stars for a night of family fun in front of the silver screen.
Every Friday night from September 12 through October 17, Market Square transforms into an outdoor movie theater where folks bring their chairs, blankets and picnic baskets.

The WordPlayers presents Steel Magnolias on Sept. 19, 20, 25, 26, 27 @7:30 & Sept. 21 & 28 @ 2:30 at Erin Presbyterian Church, 200 Lockett Rd., 37919. The play is alternately hilarious and touching-and, in the end, deeply revealing of the strength and purposefulness which underlies the antic banter of its characters.

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 two classes 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.      

The Soul Mammas: If you are a mom with a young baby interested in hanging out with other moms and their babies you should come meet with the Soul Mammas.  
We meet Mondays at noon at varying locations.  We talk about mom stuff, spiritual stuff, and have a desire to grow in prayer together.  Please email/text Sarah Whisman at yankeevol82@ gmail.com or 865-385-1482 if interested!  

If you are a guy over 50 (or close to) and attend All Souls, we'd love for you to come to lunch with us on Fridays in the library at 4 Market Square on the 3rd Floor. Bring your own sack lunch. Email Doug at doug@allsoulsknoxville.com if you can come. 
           

If you have a crying or rambunctious child, we now have audio in the prayer chapel that streams the service so you don't have to miss anything. Moms only if someone is nursing.

  

If you're moving or going on a mission trip and would like for the church to send you out with prayer during the worship service, contact Jesse at jesse@allsoulsknoxville.com
