5 November 2017 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth
Please join us on Sunday (5 November 2017) at 11:00 AM for “The Person and the Presence” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
We are continuing our exploration of the Christian tradition from which the streams of Unitarianism and Universalism have sprung — and the new perspectives arising within that tradition today.
Religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service.
Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.
Adult Religious Education — 5 November 2017
Please join us on Sunday (5 November 2017) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class.
We begin a new class discussing new streams of thought in Christianity, drawing on the writings of Father Richard Rohr, Thomas Merton, and others.
We will also explore our relationship to the Christian roots of Unitarian Universalism — whether through our experience or in coming to terms with the presence of Christianity in the culture.
A Taste of Interfaith (5 November 2017)
A Taste of Interfaith (Northern and Central Louisiana Interfaith’s annual fundraiser) will be happening on Sunday (5 November 2017) from 4:00 to 6:30 PM at St. Mark’s Episcopal Cathedral (908 Rutherford Street, Shreveport LA 71104). Admission is $25.00.
The afternoon will include music and other performances from the various performing groups of our member congregations, food representing all our congregations and cultures, and a silent auction featuring great merchandise and gift certificates (just in time for holiday shopping).
Economic Development Summit with Governor John Bel Edwards (9 November 2017)
On Thursday (9 November 2017) from 12:00 PM to 2:00 PM, citizens from across the state of Louisiana will meet with Gov. Edwards and other public officials for a conversation about changing the narrative of economic development in Louisiana to focus on investment in US — schools, jobs, infrastructure, and more.
Governor Edwards has made changes to our state’s economic development policies as significant as any in the last 50 years.
These changes have the potential to represent a historic shift in our state’s philosophy and culture of economic development — from one oriented more toward corporate subsidies to one based on shared prosperity.
For that shift to achieve its full potential, this new direction must be supported, deepened, and institutionalized.
This meeting will be hosted by University Baptist Church (5775 Highland Avenue, Baton Rouge LA 70808).
Lunch included with $5.00 contribution — Register online here.
