All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church of Shreveport, Louisiana
A home for Unitarian Universalism and liberal religion in Shreveport, Bossier City, and Northwest Louisiana since 1950
Please join us on Sunday (25 October 2020) at 11:00 APM for “What Difference Does It Make? Unitarian Universalism in 2020” with Rev. Barbara Jarrell and Friends.
Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.
Join us as we continue our season of focus on our Unitarian Universalist Identity. Larry Androes is back for our meditation this week.
We will have a virtual coffee hour after the service on Zoom.
And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
Please join us on Sunday (25 October 2020) at 1:00 PM for our weekly family religious education online class via Zoom.
The Zoom link will be on the All Souls Religious Education Facebook group and on Slack.
If you aren’t currently a member of either online group and you are interested in having your children participate, email Susan to get an invitation to either or both online groups.
This Sunday — “Speaking Out” — We’ll learn about Maria Cook (a woman who was jailed for preaching Universalism in the late 1700s) and talk about when it’s important to speak out and stay true to our values.
Please join us on Sunday (25 October 2020) at 9:00 AM for our adult religious education class — UU Elevator Speech — Session 2 — “Writing Your UU Elevator Speech.”
This week we continue the “UU Elevator Speech” series of the Faith Forward program with some ideas for writing your own.
We also have a new Slack channel for the group (#sundayadultRE) on the All Souls Slack workspace (AllSoulsUU).
If you haven’t yet been invited to the AllSoulsUU Slack workspace, email Susan and you will get an invitation right away.
We need to find a new time for our weekly gatherings. As soon as we discover what day and time works for all us, we will let you know.
Meanwhile, the middle and high school youth group is also invited to join the Sunday morning 9:00 AM adult religious education class where we will have two more sessions on “Your UU Elevator Speech” followed by our continuing exploration of the 8th Principle, beginning on 8 November 2020.
The “New UU” class will continue this Sunday (25 October 2020) with facilitator Bennett Upton at 1:00 PM via Zoom.
This week is Session 4 — “Social Justice Philosophy and Practice.”
Bennett has started a new session of this course that offers insight into Unitarian Universalist history, theology, and practice as well as a deeper dive into our own congregation.
This is a great way to learn more about our faith and our church and to spend some time with other members in a small group setting.
It’s not just for newcomers and not just for those who’ve never taken it before — a refresher is always good.
Highland Center Ministries is sponsoring a giant food giveaway in their parking lot on Thursday (29 October 2020) from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM.
Volunteers are needed to give out the food and we will also need lots of Halloween candy to give away to the children.
Email Susan Caldwell if you can work all or part of the afternoon.
If you have candy to donate, please bring it to All Souls Tuesday (27 October 2020) between 12 Noon and 5:00 PM.
