All Ages Worship (9 March 2025)

Please join us this Sunday (9 February 2025) at 11:00 AM for “Meeting a Selma Moment” with Guest Speaker Curtis Davis.

As we commemorate the 60th Anniversary of Bloody Sunday and the marches from Selma to Montgomery, Together Louisiana affiliates and others across the state are paying tribute to those who have gone before by meeting the current moment to oppose Amendment 3.

Although Together Louisiana and North Louisiana Interfaith are recommending we vote no on all amendments on the 29 March 2025 ballot, we want to focus this Sunday mostly on Amendment 3

Amendment 3 allow children as young as 13 who have committed a felony to be tried as adults.

Author and activist Curtis Davis of the 2nd Chance at Life Foundation joins us to look at this moment in the context of history — in Selma and closer to home in Caddo Parish.

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 COVID and flu rates increasing and RSV decreasing as of 1 March 2025.

The CDC no longer provides updated risk information for Caddo, Bossier, and De Soto Parishes.  We are relying on the Louisiana Department of Health for COVID risk assessments at this time.

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 March 2025 give-away-the-plate recipient is Home is Here Shreveport.
