Online All-Ages Worship (7 June 2020)

Please join us on Sunday (7 June 2020) at 11:00 AM for “Where We Fail:  White Allies That Aren’t” by Brittany Turner.

Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.

We are honored to welcome Brittany Turner out from behind the scenes this week to be our guest speaker on an issue important to us all.

In these times, white people trying to do anti-racist work need to consider not only their good intentions, but the impact of their words and actions as well.

“When we know better, we do better” — this is not an invitation to guilt, but to knowing better.

While we are remaining physically distant, we want to know how you are doing, what you need, and what you are interested in.  You can let us know using these online surveys.

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

Online Adult Religious Education — 7 June 2020

Please join us on Sunday (7 June 2020) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class via Zoom.

We will be continuing Faith Forward:  Spiritual Practice with “Session 6 – Justice Work as Spiritual Practice”:

At this turbulent time in our history, it’s more important than ever that we engage in the work of anti-racism and social justice.

There are many ways in which we can do that, and not every way is suited to every person — but however we do the work — our faith can be a source of sustenance and strength.

For those who are joining us on Saturday (6 June 2020) at St. Luke’s United Methodist Church to walk the labyrinth, we’ll meet at 3:30 PM by the labyrinth in back of the church.

Even with keeping good social distance and staggering our entrance into the labyrinth, masks are strongly encouraged.  The labyrinth has many twists and turns that may bring us closer together than planned as we walk the path.

St Luke’s is located at 6012 Youree Drive in Shreveport.
