Turning of Days: Lessons from Nature, Season, and Spirit
Thursdays, April 11-May 9, 10:00-11:30 AM
In Turning of Days, author Hannah Anderson journeys through the seasons searching out the spiritual and theological truths woven deep within the natural world. This collection of lyrical essays and accompanying Scripture passages invites us into a life of observation and awe–a life deeply connected to nature; a life that sees God’s glory everywhere. Join us for a five-week study specifically focused on the “Spring” section of this book. We will discuss the first two chapters “From the Author” and “Venturing Out,” at the first meeting. If the weather is nice, we’ll meet out in the courtyard, otherwise we’ll be in the Sanctuary like usual.
Clarkston Prayer Walk
Join the missions team on Monday, April 29 for some prayer walking in Clarkston. If you aim for Ethne (980 Rowland St.), there is a parking lot between Rowland St. and Rogers St. We'll gather there at 7:00 PM and have prayer points for Embrace, Parwana, Ethne, and more as we walk around their locations at that block.

All Fired Up carries hundreds of items of pottery to choose from, including cups, plates, bowls, useful household/kitchen items, and a great range of fun kid’s pieces.

VBS 2024: Scuba
Join us this summer for our 2024 VBS program as we learn what it means to dive into a loving relationship with God. Our hope is for each camper to know God’s love for them, learn how to love God back, and love their neighbor. Each day, campers will be taught a Bible story, and they will enjoy worship, fun games, crafts, and more! VBS is open to children who will be 4 years of age (by June 1, 2024) through rising 5th graders (for the 2024/25 school year).
We will offer a VBS program on a smaller scale with 24 spaces available for preschoolers ages 2 to 3 years old (by June 1st, 2024). Preschoolers will enjoy engaging Bible stories, fun activities, crafts, and fun games. Sign up today as spaces are limited!
Emotionally Healthy Spirituality Course
The thesis of Emotionally Healthy Spirituality is that "you can’t be spiritually mature while remaining emotionally immature." We need tools and practices for applying the truth of the Gospel to the deepest parts of our being if we are to practice the way of Jesus for the renewal of all things.
EHS combines a slowed-down, attentive, and contemplative spirituality with Bible-based tools for promoting emotional health. The course covers ways we can apply the Gospel to rest, grief, vulnerability, intentional engagement, reconciliation, and more. This course has been enjoyed by many at ASF for its engaging content, thought-provoking Bible studies, and tools for engaging the inner life. Join us in this 9-week study meeting on Mondays at 6:30-8:30 pm beginning June 17th.
Field Trip to Civil and Human Rights Museum
Join us on Saturday, June 22nd for a group visit to the National Center for Civil and Human Rights in downtown Atlanta.

We encourage families and youth to join us and discover what it means to actively engage in the worldwide discussion about civil & human rights.

EvenPsalm: Monthly Women's Gathering
All Souls is excited to announce a new, monthly, evening offering for women – EvenPsalm, a time of Scripture, prayer, and small group sharing. Tara Koski will be facilitating these evening gatherings, and she was inspired to start this because, “At this time in my life, I have a deep desire and need for a space of quiet contemplation and prayer. EvenPsalm will provide a time of stillness before God and with other women of All Souls.” If you are interested in spending quiet time before the Lord by reading the Psalms and The Book of Common Prayer, journaling, praying, and sharing in small groups, please join us the second Thursday of each month from 7:00-8:30 PM downstairs in the Prayer Room or Youth Room (depending on how much space we need).
