Welcome Little Flower Montessori School

Support for Migrants Under Threat
With the incoming administration promising mass deportations, All Souls' Migrant Solidarity Team plans to join with religious and other nonprofit groups in the Washington D.C. region in mobilizing support for our undocumented neighbors. Meanwhile, the all-volunteer Food Justice DMV, co-founded by All Souls' Denise Woods, is seeking volunteers in anticipation of increased demand for food deliveries from immigrant families afraid to leave their homes.
UPDATE: Reliable Transportation and Employment for Afghan Family
Mohammad Mukhtar Karimi, whose Afghan family has resettled with help from the Migrant Solidarity Team, has a good lead on a construction related job if he gets a vehicle to take him to job sites.
Get Involved with the Pastoral Associate Program
Pastoral associates help us be a caring community, through one-to-one connections with those who are physically isolated, receiving medical care, in decline, or going through a hard life transition. This is pastoral care – a ministry of presence and support.
Matching Up Covenant Groups is Underway
A great way to live into our mission and values is by covenanting with fellow members to share joys and sorrows, beliefs and struggles, through gathering in sacred spaces. Covenant Groups allow small groups (7-12 members) to commit to meeting regularly (October - May) for sharing, listening, building relationships and deepening spirits.
Courtyard Re-design: Your Feedback is Requested
In preparation for the Design Charette on Sunday, September 15, the Building Team is gathering feedback and ideas from the congregation. Please let us know your ideas on what is important to you for the redesign of the courtyard, the green heart of our community.
