All Ages Worship (20 October 2024)

Please join us this Sunday (20 October 2024) at 11:00 AM for “The Invisible, Interdependent Web” featuring the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.

Join us this Sunday for an interactive service that will feature a presentation of The Invisible Web by Patrice Karst as well as a introduction to a creative spiritual practice for all ages that helps to deepen and strengthen our own connections in the interdependent web of all life.

This service will be an intergenerational worship service — our children and youth remain for the entire service and not depart for religious education classes.

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.

The COVID risks for Caddo, Bossier and De Soto Parishes (the Shreveport metro area) are all low as of 14 September 2024 according to the CDC’s COVID County Check website.

Additional 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 a downward trend in COVID positive tests as of 12 October 2024.

The CDC does not recommend mandatory masking for all indoor events in “low” risk areas.

Starting on 13 November 2022, masks will be optional indoors at All Souls.

Anyone who prefers to keep wearing a mask is welcome to do so and attending worship through livestream video is also an option.

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.

We no longer require proof of vaccination against COVID for all attendees ages 11 and up for indoor events.

However, we do strongly encourage that anyone attending our worship services or other indoor events at All Souls be vaccinated against COVID.

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.

And of course — if you have symptoms (COVID or other respiratory illness) — please stay home and take care of yourself.

Our October 2024 give-away-the-plate recipient is Students for Justice in Palestine (LSU-S Chapter).

And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
