Re: Family friendly church for a newbie

I highly recommend All Souls Episcopal Church in Berkeley (corner of Cedar and Spruce). They are very family friendly, very tolerant to differences in all aspects, even religious, and they have great programs for adults and kids. I've been attending for 1 year and they've been very welcomming, without being pushy. The services are very nice, sermons are challenging and the music is great. I hope you drop by and give it a try, you might find what you look for. Toni

We go to All Soul's Episcopal Parish (mentioned in a previous newsletter) and are very happy there. We live in North Berkeley and researched many churches within walking distance before choosing this congregation. One thing that helped us make the decision was how family-friendly the congregation was, even though we didn't have any children at that point. Visitors are always welcome and it's a very tight-knit, friendly community with a lot of activities for both families and adults. neowright
