A home for Unitarian Universalism and liberal religion in Shreveport, Bossier City, and Northwest Louisiana since 1950
On Friday morning (10 May 2019) at 10:00 AM, we hope as many of you as possible can join us to welcome Rev. Dr. William Barber II.
Rev. Barber is bringing the Poor People’s Campaign here to Shreveport.
We realize the morning event may be hard for many to attend — but if you can possibly take the time off — this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and our church.
Please join us on Sunday (5 May 2019) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class — we will begin our exploration of “The Story of God: Apocalypse.”
We will begin the idea of “Apocalypse” — a view of the “end times” and what that means from the perspective of different faith traditions.

Friends and family of Hazel Martin will gather on Saturday (27 April 2019) at 3:30 PM in the sanctuary to celebrate her life (Hazel passed away on 10 March 2019 in Raleigh NC).
Hazel was a longtime active member of All Souls and a dedicated Unitarian Universalist at the district and national level as well.
A tribute to Hazel and her many contributions to church life is on page 2 of the April 2019 newsletter.
We will have a reception in the social hall for those in attendance immediately following the service.
We would appreciate more help with set-up and clean-up for that event and — if anyone can bring some nice cookies, pastries, or a fruit or veggie tray to go with the food we already have coming, that would be lovely.
Join us to welcome Hazel’s family and to celebrate a great life well lived!
