Please join us on Sunday (29 June 2025) 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.
Our topic will be “What Makes You Laugh?” facilitated by Susan Caldwell and Barbara Deger.
Some of us have found that the one thing keeping us tethered to some sense of reality and/or hope is the ability to laugh and the people who help us do that.
Barbara and Susan have chosen a few samples to share with you although they’re also hoping you will have some recommendations too!
Please join us on Saturday (28 June 2025) from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM for the Pride in Due Process Protest Festival at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church.
Join us in an intersectional celebration of Pride brought to you by DSA Shreveport and various other groups including All Souls.
The event will feature speakers, table displays, music, games and more.
As the sign says — Rights for y’all means rights for all!
Don’t let them take your joy — come on out and connect with your community!
Please join us on Saturday (28 June 2025) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.
This group will be meeting via Zoom and not in person.
This is a sitting Buddhist meditation including a brief introduction to mindfulness meditation, 20 minutes of sitting, and followed by a weekly teaching.
Please note that this 10:00 AM time is a change from the usual 11:00 AM worship service time. We will have the church doors open at 9:30 AM so you can get settled in before the live video starts up.
We will be watching the live video from Baltimore along with the GA delegates and other Unitarian Universalists around the world while also enjoying a potluck brunch in the social hall.
Leading the year’s UUA GA gathering for 2025 will be the Rev. Dr. Nicole C. Kirk (the Rev. Dr. Frank and Alice Schulman Chair of Unitarian Universalist History at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago).
Our service will not be livestreamed on Facebook Live for this week only — if you cannot attend for the in-person brunch event, you can watch the livestream video at home:
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 RSV maintaining low levels with flu having a slight increase in our state as of 14 June 2025.
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.
In addition to the food and video presentation, the children and youth will also have some drawing and craft materials if they desire to create things during this brunch / worship event.
Our usual monthly building and grounds work day for June 2025 has been cancelled. Please join us on second Saturday in July 2025 (12 July 2025) and most second Saturdays in the future.
Other than some basic cleaning and mowing, most of the work for our spiritual community’s physical home is done by the members and friends of All Souls.
We usually do this on the second Saturday of the month and we are now using our summer schedule 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
For June 2025 only, our work day is cancelled because there is just so much is happening in Shreveport and beyond.
Please join us on Sunday (29 June 2025) for our adult religious education class at 9:00 AM.
