Don't forget that 10-to-the-City voting takes place this Sunday night!
Sometime this week, please click here to look over the list of possible community partners and educate yourself about their work in the city. Be in prayerful consideration about which organizations we should partner with. After church, you will be given a list of the names of these organizations and a ballot with three blanks. You may vote for whichever organization(s) you feel best seek(s) the peace of Knoxville. All votes count the same (i.e. you're not ranking them in any order). If you wish, you may cast three votes for the same organization.
The 10-to-the-City committee worked hard to synthesize the list that came from our congregational brainstorming session. Some organizations were listed in more than one category, so multiple listings were eliminated. Other suggestions were not non-profit entities, a requirement of this process. We also tried to focus on organizations located in the city (rather than national organizations). If an organization you suggested did not make the final list, we encourage you to apply for a Small Group Grant to fund a project for that organization. The Small Group Grant application and requirements can be found on the All Souls website or by clicking here.
Following the vote THIS Sunday we hope you will plan on staying for a time of fellowship over a pizza dinner. We are suggesting a $3 per adult/$1 per child donation to cover the cost of food.

Our 11th Anniversary Celebration is Sunday, October 11, at Caswell Park from 5 - 8 pm. We need about 15-18 volunteers to help us at this event. Please email jill@allsoulsknoxville.com if you can assist with greeting and/or directing our guests, picking up trash, setting up our sound equipment, etc. Please remember to bring camp chairs and/or a blanket to sit on.
Every year at this event, we celebrate those who have invited Christ to live in them and through them, and are following Christ's example of baptism. In Matthew 28:18-20, Jesus commands his disciples to baptize, and we read that the early church baptized believers upon their conversion in Acts 2:38. If you want to talk with Doug about this sacrament, or are interested in being baptized, contact him at doug@allsoulsknoxville.com . After-church potluck will begin every other week, beginning October 18, at around 7 pm at the home of Misha Testerman, Sarah Bateman, Rebba Omer, and Kacie Kenton, 1916 Brown Ave., 37917. The vision is to provide a place for people to come, eat, chat, and connect over a meal. All are welcome to participate in the food and fellowship. If you have questions, please email mishatesterman7@gmail.com. |

Potluck Brunch for all musicians, writers, visual artists, dancers, theatre artists, designers, architects, and all tinkerers and dabblers of artistic media, Saturday, October 17, 10 am to noon, at the Johnsons' home in Parkridge, 1640 Jefferson Ave. Bring a breakfast bread, fruit, meat, or egg dish. Drinks provided. Last-minute guests are welcome, but for planning purposes, an RSVP by Sunday, October 11 would be really helpful (travetta@msn.com, 368-5778). A number of you have expressed a desire to come together to meet each other and to explore what artistic needs or potential initiatives might be common among us, and discuss how those interests might be best served. At the very least, we'll just have a good time of connecting and developing a database of contact information. Teens are welcome too! Childcare (limited space) will be provided for ages 1 through young 5's if you reserve your spot by October 11. Babies and supervised older children are welcome to stay with us for the brunch. If you have a childcare option elsewhere, please save the limited space for those who do not.

"Many Forms of Prayer" Fall Retreat: Saturday, October 10, 9 am to 3 pm, 8420 Nubbin Ridge Rd., 37923. Hear God's invitation to "be still and know that I am God." Sometimes our prayer lives are vibrant and life-giving; at other times, they can feel stagnant and dull. Fortunately there are many varied ways of talking and listening to God. We will explore several ways at this retreat, along with brief times of group sharing and worship. However, most of the day is reserved for you to spend alone in directed meditation and prayer, walking and feasting in the beauty of autumn. For more information or to register: www.holypaths.org/retreats.
