For September 2025, our monthly building and grounds work day will happen on Saturday (20 September 2025) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
This is a change from our usual 2nd Saturday of the month.
There are tasks indoors and out for all ages and abilities along with snacks for the volunteers.
The All Souls Peace Alliance invites you to our quarterly vegan potluck on Sunday (21 September 2025) immediately after the 11:00 AM worship service.
The Peace Alliance is a group at All Souls promoting a plant-based lifestyle as a way of living in right relation with our own bodies, with the animals that share this earthly home, and with the planet itself. In other words — a path to peace.
Whether you are vegan, vegetarian, or a curious omnivore, you are welcome!
We encourage you to bring a vegan dish to share, along with the recipe, and stay for our movie selection (A Life on Our Planet with Sir David Attenbourough).
In this breathtaking film Sir David recounts the story of his own extraordinary life along with the evolutionary history of the Earth and humanity’s impact on its impending fate.
If you stay for the movie, you will be entered into a drawing to win $50 cash.
Hope to see you there!

Please join us this Sunday (10 August 2025) at 11:00 AM for our annual Artist Sunday worship service.
We will also have a visual art show and sale starting at 10:30 AM and again after the worship service until 2:00 PM.
A beloved All Souls tradition returns.
Every element of the Artist Sunday worship service is some form of performing art — singing, dancing, instrumental music, or some other kind of performance.
All ages will be together in the sanctuary for this service.
We will be meeting in the sanctuary for this worship service. Please join us in person at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 9449 Ellerbe Road, Shreveport LA 71106 if you are able to do so.
Our service will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live here if you cannot attend in person.
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. The link is currently showing flu and RSV maintaining a very low level as of 2 August 2025.
However, we also showing a significant COVID-19 uptick in our state as of 2 August 2025. This is an indication of the COVID-19 summer seasonal surge.
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 August 2025 give-away-the-plate recipient is Red River Radio.

There will be no children and youth summer art activity this Sunday (10 August 2025).
The children and youth will remain in the sanctuary for the Artist Sunday worship service.
