Please join us on Sunday (1 May 2016) at 11:00 AM for “Righteous Among the Nations” by Susan Caldwell.

The title refers to the distinction bestowed posthumously by Yad Vashem (the World Holocaust Remembrance Center) upon Waitstill and Martha Sharp for their work with the Unitarian Service Committee arranging safe passage for Jewish refugees out of Third Reich Countries.

They are two of only three Americans so honored.

On this day when Shreveport observes its own Holocaust Remembrance Service, Susan Caldwell is in the pulpit this morning to tell their story and to look at its implications for all of us in this Season of the Earthling (celebrating our connection to all life in the interdependent web).

Shreveport’s annual Holocaust Remembrance Service is a multi-faith service held each year in a different house of worship in the community.

This year’s service is at St. Mary of the Pines Catholic Church at 3:00 PM on Sunday (1 May 2016).

Religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service — children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.
