Something short here about our mission, etc. These are pics I grabbed offline.
The following copy is from another UU site:
Committees and teams are where much of the work of All Souls gets done, and there are lots of ways to get involved at All Souls. If you're interested in our beautiful old building, you could join the Building & Grounds committee. If you like to cook, consider helping prepare and serve at The Stone Soup Café. If you have financial expertise, a green thumb, or a desire to work for justice, there’s a committee for you!

Welcome to All Souls Church!
At All Souls, our mission is to welcome all who seek fellowship in our liberal religious tradition; to nurture the spiritual well-being of our children and ourselves; to show that people can transcend differences; to nourish and enrich each other in a common spiritual quest; and to provide information and opportunities for members of All Souls and others to act upon the issues of injustice and inequity.
Unitarian Universalist Principles

The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
-
Justice, equity and compassion in human relations;
-
Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
-
Free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
-
The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
-
The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all; and
-
Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote: journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.

Laura Josephs Lemm and All Souls Choir Rehearsal at 9 a.m.
"Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. once said, "I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear." Have you ever noticed that it is easier to act out of kindness than malice? Perhaps that’s because we are inherently connected from a common source. Love is a recognition of our natural unity. It takes a lot of effort and causes lots of pain to live a life of separation. As we try to make sense of the news of the day, let’s stick with the message of universal love."
Rev. Douglas McCusker (he/him) is a retired Unitarian Universalist minister. He served two congregations as their minister: UU Congregation of Rockville, MD and the UU Fellowship of Fredericksburg, VA. He also led a Unitarian Universalist group at a men’s prison in Virginia. He is on the Nature staff and Healthy Relations team of the Southeast UU Summer Institute - SUUSI. Whenever he gets the chance, he leads groups in an outdoor sensory immersion practice known as Forest Bathing. Rev. Doug and his spouse Marie, live in North Adams, MA.
Laura Josephs Lemm is very happy to join the choir at All Souls! She lives in Greenfield with her husband Eric, five-year-old son Jordan, and epic downstairs housemate, Lynda. She loves making music of any variety, and most of her training is in classical piano. She is currently developing a musical version of typewriter rodeo, where you give her subject matter and she creates a personalized song for you on the spot... and she needs practice if you're interested!
