April 25, 2021: Our Lives are in Each Other's Hands
10:30 am
Martha Durkee-Neuman, Guest Minister
A global health crisis has shown us the change we are capable of becoming when we know that our lives are in each other's hands. But the climate crisis teaches us that this is true all the time. In this moment, we reflect on what it looks like to follow the leadership of young people in our movement for environmental justice while we hold the tensions between our first and seventh principles and work to transform ourselves and our world for climate justice.
Martha Durkee-Neuman (she/her) is a lifelong UU and young adult organizer originally from the Pacific Northwest, now living in Malden, MA. She serves as a Director of Religious Education, first year seminarian, and a grassroots political trainer working on helping people run for office. Martha is passionate about transformative justice, interfaith community building, and abolition. She can usually be found storytelling, dancing, and conducting Zoom finger puppet theater.
A recorded service can be viewed below.

continue online.
Connection Circles are our small group offerings.
Monday Mid-Day Meetup
Meet up with us for some online conversation and companionship. Talk about whatever is on your heart. Every Monday afternoon, we let the conversation evolve informally. Like many conversations, we never quite know what topic will pop up. We might wander from sharing suggestions for books, movies and TV shows, to cleaning tips for your microwave! Sometimes a serious or personal topic springs from our initial check-ins, and group members become compassionate listeners. Mondays at 3:30 pm.
Friday Morning Coffee Hour
Join us Fridays at 10 am for online coffee and conversation with a theme, relying on group participants to provide a focus for the discussion. April 23 - We will honor Poetry Month with an invitation for circle participants to share a poem that is meaningful to them. This may take the form of a printed poem or video link to be presented as a screen share, or by simply reading the poem aloud. Please send materials in advance to Mary by Thursday if you want assistance presenting your selection.
All Souls Writing Group
All Souls Writing Group will meet Wednesday, April 28, at 4 p.m. on Zoom. Friendship will be our theme for the month. What Is Friendship? We know it when we have it. Friends make us feel better. Friends validate our feelings and ideas. They lead us to introspection and belief in ourselves.
The following are some ideas on friendship:
A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down.
– Arnold H. Glasgow
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.
– Tennessee Williams
Do I not destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.
– Abraham Lincoln
Try to be a rainbow in someone's cloud.
– Maya Angelou

Church Community Conversations
A series of facilitated discussions on Saturday afternoons, open to All Souls Church members and friends. Given the challenges so many of us have been facing during the pandemic, the focus of these three sessions will be on cultivating a community of care. (Pardon the alliteration, I can't help myself!) This congregation has such a big heart, and many people make a point to reach out to stay connected.
The question I'm bringing to these conversations is: Are there structures or skills we can offer to help us care for one another, to build toward a community where everyone is supported and no one is left behind? - Rev. Jo
Saturday, May 8 from 2-4 pm: Skills for Community Care with Devin Shmueli
