Samuel Prince — Meeting the Moment--Centering Undivided Love Amid a Fractured Landscape
2026-08-09 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Leader — Cindy Petri
Speaker — Samuel Prince
Title — Meeting the Moment–Centering Undivided Love Amid a Fractured Landscape
Topic — This moment, in our world, in our faith as Unitarian Universalists, and this nation, is a fight for the belief that every single person deserves wellness, serving and thriving. There are so many who are trying to say that only certain people deserve well-being, and we say: No! -everything for everyone! When all things that matters are possible, we have met the Moment
Bio — My years in both clergy and the IT industry served as a good combination and pathway when I became involved with Unitarian Universalism after leaving the Anglican faith. This journey took me to the Unitarian Society of New Haven, becoming a member on June 3rd 2007. There I served as a chair for the Adult Religious Education and co-chair of the Transformation / Anti-Racism Team, two areas of my passion and continued to this day with community organizing.
One of my joys was organizing the first gathering of People of Color (POC) in Ohio District in 2014. I subsequently also served on the General Assembly Planning Committee and on Black Lives UU Organizing Collective Board, the Unitarian Universalist Funding Program and the UU Christian Fellowship.
After my relocating to Ohio, I served many years on various congregation Boards and being their Presidents. I am currently the Convener of the UU Church of Akron Leadership Development Committee and on the Board of Murray Grove (UU) Retreat Center in New Jersey.

Jen Gibson — Where the Waters Meet Itself
2026-09-06 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Leader —Jen Gibson
Speaker — Jen Gibson
Title — Where the Waters Meet Itself
Topic — As we begin a new church year, we will gather for All Souls’ Water Communion and reflect on what each of us brings into this new beginning. Our community has traveled through hills and valleys, experienced both joy and loss, and continues to grow and change. A new beginning doesn’t mean forgetting where we’ve been; it gives us an opportunity to consider who we are, who we are becoming, and what we can create when we choose to meet one another with patience, communication, and love.
This will be a multigenerational service, with children and adults worshiping together for the full service.
You are invited to bring a small amount of water to add to our shared bowl during the Water Communion. Your water can come from somewhere meaningful or simply from your own home. During the ceremony, we’ll reflect on what each of us is bringing with us into this new church year.
In the spirit of sharing what we have, you are also invited to bring canned or other nonperishable food to help stock the Little Free Pantry at the Bellville Branch Library, which All Souls helped support.
Bring water, bring food, bring both—or simply bring yourself. There will be a place for you here.
Bio — Jen Gibson is a member and Administrative Coordinator of All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church. She also serves with the Mansfield United Lions Club, where she is currently Second Vice President.

Bio — Christopher Reynolds is a singer, teacher and mandalic bard. He earned his Masters degree from Ashland University and served 30 years as a French instructor and world language department chair for the Berea City Schools.

LaVonne Limpus — The Courage to Thrive During Difficult Times
2026-09-27 10:30 - 12:00 | All Souls UU Church, 25 Church St., Bellville, Ohio, 44813
Sunday Service — 10:30 a.m.
Guest speaker LaVonne Limpus will join us live via Zoom.
Leader —Reed Richmond
Speaker — LaVonne Limpus
Title — The Courage to Thrive During Difficult Times
Topic — When the world feels heavy, many of us instinctively shrink our joy, dim our light, or carry more than is ours. But what if thriving in difficult times isn’t selfish but necessary for ourselves and our communities? This week we explore the courage it takes to flourish even in seasons of uncertainty, and how healthy boundaries and clarity about what we can and cannot control make long‑term compassion possible. A message for anyone learning to grow, heal, and live fully without apology.
Bio — LaVonne was born and raised as a 5th generation Montanan to a cattle ranching family. She is the youngest of 6 children whose lives were permanently changed by the long term health effects common to rural ag communities in the 60s and 70s. Her experience with this realization made her begin to understand the inextricable connection between our food systems and our health at a very young age. LaVonne began speaking to people about ecofeminism and ecotheology.
After a career in the music industry LaVonne is now a 4th year Seminarian and Unitarian Universalist Aspirant at Methodist Theological School in Ohio and a fellowshipped pastor in Southern Oregon. LaVonne travels all over Southern Oregon offering sermons and support to small UU communities. She is also working as a Hospice Chaplain for Josephine County. LaVonne connects us to our grief and our joy to make meaning for UU Communities whenever possible.
Please note: Our congregation will gather in person at All Souls UU Church for this service. LaVonne will join the congregation remotely via Zoom to deliver the message.
