The Great Decisions Group is meeting online on Saturday night (13 June 2020) at 6:00 PM.
Great Decisions is America’s largest discussion program on world affairs, sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association.

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.

Family religious education via Zoom will take a break this Sunday (7 June 2020) and return next week (Sunday, 14 June 2020) with summer activities.
Remember that our Sunday service is multi-generational and always includes something for ages.
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.
The “New UU” adult religious education class will not be meeting this Sunday (7 June 2020) — the class will complete its final session on Sunday, 14 June 2020.
As a member of a congregation, the power within our faith tradition lies with you.
Today’s session explores the rights and responsibilities of holding that power.
If you’re interested, email facilitator Bennett Upton and he will send you a link to join the class.
Please join us next Wednesday (10 June 2020) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.
Bring your lunch and meet up with your All Souls friends, have lunch, and just catch up.
This a chance to connect and catch up midweek.
At some point we may decide to bring in speakers but for now we’re just hanging out and enjoying each other’s virtual company.
Hope to see you there!

Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.
This has not been a”typical” year in the life of the church (or a typical year, period) and yet we have persevered, we have learned, we have innovated, we have failed, we have succeeded, we have stumbled, and we have gotten up again.
We have much to mourn, there is no doubt, and we gather to do that.
We have much to celebrate. and we gather to do that.
We gather, together even when we are far apart.
