Worship in Montague "Onward Through the Ages"
Worship: Rev. Jeanne Lloyd
Special Time: 9:00 am 
Special Place: Grange Hall in Montague (see map)

Our May Day intergenerational worship service will be conducted by Rev. Jeanne at the Grange Hall in Montague, at 9 am. (No services will be provided at All Souls Church in Greenfield on 5/4.) 

In a prior life the Montague Grange Hall was the Unitarian Church of Montague, to whom Rev. John Moors donated our black oak pulpit from our former church building (now the Recorder building). This shorter and earlier worship service will give our many families and friends of All Souls ample opportunity to prepare for the May Day Festival in Montague. 

If you have missed this festival in past, please come this year. It is great fun, full of whimsy and respect for ancient traditions!

Singing and Living Tradition
Worship: Leah Garfield-Wright
Music: Paul Praetz and Us!

Besides principles, our covenant includes sources, including 'direct experience of that transcendent mystery and wonder.' If pews and hymns don't resonate mysteriously or wonderfully, then they can be climbed beyond.

Religious education programs for children take place after a brief opening period with everyone gathered in the sanctuary. The Spirit of Adventure group is open to all ages. Children in middle school and older may participate in the Not Quite Thoroughly Thoreau nature program. Children participating in the nature program need to dress for the outdoors, be registered and have a signed registration form on file. If you are new and plan to attend this program please e-mail allsoulsdre@comcast.net for more info.
