Meet at the Bandstand
For those looking for an in-person gathering, you're invited to join fellow congregants at Nantasket Beach in Hull. Gather for some company, stroll the shore or bring a chair to sit and watch the sea, and pause to do some writing. To keep everyone safe at this church activity, participants will be required to keep their mask on at all times (including over their nose) and practice physical distancing. Please RSVP to allsoulsbraintree@gmail.com with your name and phone number. Plan to bring your mask, hand sanitizer, warm layers, something to write on and with, and a chair if you think you'd rather sit than walk.

Book Discussion Group
The Book Discussion Group meets monthly via ZOOM on the first Tuesday of the month at 7 pm. All are invited to join in the discussion. For our October meeting on October 6, we will be reading and discussing The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek: A Novel by Kim Michelle Richardson
The New York Times and USA Today bestseller!
"…a hauntingly atmospheric love letter to the first mobile library in Kentucky and the fierce, brave packhorse librarians who wove their way from shack to shack dispensing literacy, hope, and — just as importantly — a compassionate human connection."—Sara Gruen, author of Water for Elephants
The hardscrabble folks of Troublesome Creek have to scrap for everything—everything except books, that is. Thanks to Roosevelt's Kentucky Pack Horse Library Project, Troublesome's got its very own traveling librarian, Cussy Mary Carter.
Cussy's not only a book woman, however, she's also the last of her kind, her skin a shade of blue unlike most anyone else. Not everyone is keen on Cussy's family or the Library Project, and a Blue is often blamed for any whiff of trouble. If Cussy wants to bring the joy of books to the hill folks, she's going to have to confront prejudice as old as the Appalachias and suspicion as deep as the holler.
Inspired by the true blue-skinned people of Kentucky and the brave and dedicated Kentucky Pack Horse library service of the 1930s, The Book Woman of Troublesome Creek is a story of raw courage, fierce strength, and one woman's belief that books can carry us anywhere—even back home.
Please join us for discussion and camaraderie even if you have not read or completed the book.
Writing Group
All Souls’ Spiritual Writing Group will meet on Zoom, Wednesday, September 30, at 4 pm. Equality will be the theme of our first meeting of the writing year. We will put our inspiration into stories, essays and poetry and address the many ways equality is defined.
For example:
What is the difference between equality and fairness, is there any difference?
Is justice part of the equation?
How do we measure equality?
What examples can we find that may approximate equality?
We encourage all who are interested to join us for an interesting discussion of our writings.

Market2day and All Souls Church
All Souls Church has agreed to partner with Market 2day and the Braintree Farmers Market this summer. Dates are on our calendar. They will use our Parish Hall to assemble orders placed with the regular vendors of the Farmers Market. These orders will then be delivered to people's doorsteps. Market 2day is a phone app through which you can place your order. Find more information as it becomes available on the Braintree Farmer's Market Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pg/braintreefarmersmarket/events/. Your order will generate revenue for All Souls Church, so take advantage of the opportunity to get some delicious, home-made and home-grown food to brighten your home-cooked meals!
To participate, you must download the Market2Day app on your phone. Check out their website www.market2dayapp.com.
