Our Ancestors' Dreaming: Our Ancestors imagined a world that we now live in, and our dreams will also echo through generations. This Sunday we celebrate the lives of our members and friends who have died in the past 12 months. And we ask ourselves how we can become good Ancestors. Service lead by Rev. Joel Miller

Out of The Box!--A contest
Submissions accepted until February
Churches everywhere are struggling with how to stay relevant, and continue to meet the needs of younger people--and we are no exception. All Souls received a grant to foster engagement with younger adults--ages 18 through late 30's. Do you have a program idea that might meed young adult needs, that you would really like to facilitate?
We have money from the Center for Congregations to make that idea a reality. You would receive staff help and support and funds to make your idea a success.. Email Rev. Miller at minister@allsoulsindy.org or Nasreen at weekly@allsoulsindy.org with your ideas.

Dear All,
As the new year begins, we’re laying some groundwork for our eventual return to church. While it may be a while yet, there are many things we can do to refresh and reboot our Faith Formation classrooms. One way congregants can be of tremendous help is by keeping their eyes open for basic Makerspace tools and resources. Examples include paintbrushes of all sizes, knitting needles (straight, circular, and double-pointed), crochet hooks, potholder looms, sturdy used sewing machines, hammers, tape measures, screwdrivers, and basic garden tools such as rakes, hoes, shovels, and hand trowels. You can find an Amazon wish list here that provides examples of some items, but as many of you know, used tools can be just as serviceable as new ones. There are also some support and infrastructure projects that sewers and carpenters might find interesting. You can find them here. Thank you for supporting the faith formation program as we create opportunities for our children and youth to put faith in action!
In fellowship,
Sarah Cannon,
DCCP

Coburn Place Christmas Giving Tree - Covid edition
Each Christmas season for 8 years All Souls has set a tree in our Atrium to gather donations for Coburn Place. Our church has generously donated gift cards and supplies that go to Coburn's residents who are survivors of interpersonal abuse, live in Coburn's transitional housing, and use their support services. This year we can't buy cards at the SCRIP table in Harris Hall or drop off items in the Atrium, but we can still give. Here are three ways:
Buy SCRIP cards on-line and pay through All Souls PayPal. Specify that this is a Coburn donation and Sandy Reiburg will ensure the donation gets to Coburn Place. By purchasing through SCRIP, All Souls receives a portion of the donation. Meijer, Target, and fuel cards are most appreciated. Follow the PayPal link found here.
Purchase items off Coburn's Amazon Wish List
This link will get you to Coburn's donation page, from there, click the link for the Wish List; note the Coburn categories on the left of the Amazon screen. Items will ship directly to their 38th Street location.
Bring items to church on Christmas Eve for our drive-in service. Check Coburn's wish list and drop off items at church on Christmas Eve -no wrapping required! Delivery to Coburn will be made the following week.
In 2019, Coburn Place served 884 adults and children and 332 children participated in their children's services programs. They believe that breaking the cycle of abuse creates stronger people, stronger families and - ultimately - stronger communities. If you have any questions on supporting Coburn, contact Virginia Snell at snellva@yahoo.com.
