Announcements
All Ages Worship (8 February 2026)
Please join us this Sunday (8 February 2026) at 11:00 AM for “Love is a Verb” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
Our service will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live here if you cannot attend in person.
We are moving our videos from Facebook to YouTube for long-term storage and viewing — you can find our worship videos on YouTube here.
State-level COVID data can be found on the Louisiana Department of Health’s respiratory virus dashboard web page. The most sensitive metric to follow for current COVID trends is the “Laboratory Surveillance Data” link.
RSV and Flu have shown significant increases but may be decreasing in our state as of 31 January 2026 while COVID is maintaining low but persistent numbers.
Masking and COVID vaccination are optional for attending in-person events at All Souls.
We encourage you to be vaccinated against COVID and to also have the most-current COVID booster shots. This provides greater protection to the individual and the church community.
Anyone who prefers wearing a mask is welcome to do so for in-person events and attending worship through livestream video is also an option where required for medical or schedule conflict reasons.
We will still have KN95 masks available in the foyer for anyone who needs one.
We continue to recommend that you stay home if you have any symptoms and that you keep up with all available vaccinations and boosters.
If you are recovering from COVID and have no symptoms, you should mask in public until you have tested negative twice in a 48 hour period.
We also ask that you go by the previous CDC guidelines of waiting at least 5 days past the onset of symptoms rather than the current 24 hour recommendation.
If you have symptoms for COVID or other respiratory illness, please stay home and take care of yourself.
Our February 2026 give-away-the-plate recipient is the League of Women Voters Caddo-Bossier.
And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
Religious Education for Children and Youth (8 February 2026)
For this Sunday (1 February 2026), our children and youth will continue their exploration of “JETPIG and World Religions.”
Continuing our exploration of world religions, we will explore the way our Unitarian Universalist JETPIG Values (justice, equity, transformation, pluralism, interdependence and generosity) are taught by our neighbors in other faiths where love is also at the center.
Online and In-Person Adult Religious Education (8 February 2026)
Please join us on Sunday (8 February 2026) for our adult religious education class at 9:00 AM.
Our adult religious education class is now a dual-platform class — meeting in person in the church social hall and also on Zoom.
For this Sunday, we continue our study of Understanding the Bible: A Guide for Skeptics, Seekers, and Religious Liberals by former Unitarian Universalist Association President Rev. John Buerhens.
Copies of this book are available at the church.
For this Sunday’s session, we continue our exploration of the Christian Testament looking at the chapter “Resurrections: The Four Easter Stories” (pages 160-168).
Monthly Building and Grounds Work Day Moving to 21 February 2026
Our monthly building and grounds work day is moving from its regular second Saturday of the month to the third Saturday (21 February 2026) for this month only.
The work day will happen on Saturday (21 February 2026) from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Stay the whole time or as long as your schedule allows — tasks indoors and out for all ages and abilities — and a high probability of snacks.
Zoom Lunch This Wednesday (11 February 2026)
Please join us next Wednesday (11 February 2026) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.
With the busy lives of our regular participants, our in-person Zoom lunches are on hold for the time being but the link is always open to join at noon every Wednesday.

1 February 2026 Worship Video
All Ages Worship (1 February 2026)
Please join us this Sunday (1 February 2026) at 11:00 AM for “Murmurations (Take Two)” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
No, you aren’t experiencing deja vu or Groundhog Day.
Since Rev. Barbara had barely begun her sermon last week before the power went out at her house during the recent winter storm, we are bringing back the “Murmurations” sermon with some different music and readings this week.
Join us to hear this great message that is truly worth a second attempt.
A Congregational Meeting will follow the service.
Our service will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live here if you cannot attend in person.
We are moving our videos from Facebook to YouTube for long-term storage and viewing — you can find our worship videos on YouTube here.
