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!

Worship Leader: Andrew Baker
Topic: “Spiritual Play”
Musician: Brian Bender
What do the words “spiritual play” mean to you? Let that thought germinate like a seed within you. When I first began thinking about offering what has become an annual sermon at All Souls about nine months ago, the words “spiritual play” bubbled up within me as a theme, a sermon prompt. I’m not sure why. I’ve been ruminating on those words ever since. If you’d like to hear where I’ve been, come and join me at All Souls UU Church in Greenfield on Sunday, April 21 at 10:30 am. If you do, maybe my journey into “spiritual play” will add something to yours. Let’s make it so.
Andrew Baker has been a member of All Souls in Greenfield since 1994. He lives with his wife Andrea Griswold in Shelburne Falls, where they have raised five children and now enjoy seven grandchildren. He has worked on community development projects in the Pioneer Valley since 1987 and currently works for Holyoke Community College as a workforce training manager and on the Shelburne Select Board. While ruminating on sermons, he also helps bring great movies to the big screen at Pothole Pictures, a volunteer-run community movie theater.
Brian Bender is a multi-instrumentalist (piano, trombone, accordion, percussion...) who's performed at Carnegie Hall, the Presidential Inauguration of Bill Clinton, and is a graduate of the New England Conservatory of Music. Locally Brian is in numerous bands ranging from Reggae to Celtic to Jazz, and leads the Klezmer-African-Latin-Caribbean fusion band Little Shop of Horas, which has performed numerous European tours.
