Approximately
300 children and youth, pre-school through high school, participate
in All Souls religious education programs.
The Sunday
morning RE program offers classes designed to help children develop
spiritual values, ethical sensitivity and an understanding of
our Judeo-Christian heritage.
Our first
through fifth grade class participates in five second-hour
rotating creative workshops: music (where children receive
Orff training), portrait art, drama and movement. Our children's
choir, which meets after the Sunday morning program, offers
children in the second grade and older an opportunity for
first-class voice training.
Chapel
services are led by Melaney Mashburn, with Sunday guests appearances
by All Souls ministers. Chapel offers an opportunity to discuss
current events, giving children an additional opportunity
to process things that are happening in their world.
