Please join us this Sunday (30 August 2015) at 11:00 AM for “The Federal Flood and the Lesson of Listening” by Susan Caldwell.  The All Souls Choir will sing in this worship service.

Please join us on Sunday (26 July 2015) at 11:00 AM for “Shining the Light of History” by Pamela Carter Carlisle.

Ida B. Wells-Barnett once said “The way to right wrongs is to turn the light of truth upon them.”

Join us as we hear Pamela Carter Carlisle (All Souls Member and Local History / Public Outreach Specialist for the Bossier Library Historical Center) shine that light of truth into some of the darkest places of the racial history of our own area once known as “Bloody Caddo.”

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.
