Over the past few years more and more people have made All Souls their religious community. The current Membership Book that new members sign upon joining the church has over 500 signatures since November of 2000. We've seen our attendance and activities grow considerably during that same time. Today, many people shuttle to church from the BOK parking lot on Peoria. The official statistics show 1457 adult members, which is up from 1017 in January of 2001. Our newsletter goes out to over 1800 households each week. Other than having a sign in front of the church (since 2004) and a website with information, we do very little to intentionally grow or promote the congregation. Nevertheless, people keep coming and finding meaning among us, and each time they do they add to the depth and breadth of our community. Of course we have a Newcomers Committee and many of you take turns as greeters and ushers. The questions we will be exploring on Sunday include: Is our hospitality intentional or accidental? What does it mean to be an inviting and welcoming community? If there are more people in Tulsa who are yearning for a free-thinking, justice centered, inclusive community rooted in love and service, what is our role in offering such a gift? If such a church can add value and meaning and hope to more people's lives, what can we do to share it? What is your welcome?
