About Communion at All Souls Unitarian Church
Several times throughout the year, All Souls gathers for Unitarian Communion — a simple and meaningful ritual rooted in one of the oldest traditions of Unitarianism.
Our communion tradition traces back nearly 450 years to the Unitarian churches of Transylvania, where communities gathered around a shared table as an expression of love, unity, gratitude, and spiritual renewal. Unlike many forms of communion centered on doctrine or membership, the Unitarian tradition has long emphasized openness, shared humanity, and the freedom of individual belief.
At All Souls, communion is observed during significant moments in the church year, including Easter, Pentecost, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The service includes the sharing of bread and wine (or juice) as symbols of community, reflection, and recommitment to our deepest values.
This ritual invites us to:
Our next communion service will take place on Pentecost Sunday, May 24, 2026, in the Chapel between services. This gathering is open to everyone, regardless of background, belief, or church membership.
All are welcome. No creed. No barriers. Just a shared moment of meaning and connection.
