All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church of Shreveport, Louisiana
A home for Unitarian Universalism and liberal religion in Shreveport, Bossier City, and Northwest Louisiana since 1950
The City of Shreveport’s Property Standards Task Force will meet Tuesday, 21 February 2012, at 5:30 PM in the Police Assembly Hall located on the second floor of the Shreveport Police Department (1234 Texas Street, Shreveport LA 71101).
The meeting is a Public Forum to receive public comments concerning the proposed changes to the Housing and Property Standards Code of Ordinances regarding minimum living standards.
Interfaith leaders and interested persons are encouraged to attend.
The 11:00 AM worship service for Sunday (19 February 2012) is “Inspired by the World.”
Children, youth and adults of the church will present stories, readings and music in a service in celebration of our Third Source:
Wisdom from the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life.
Learning the stories and teachings of other traditions is another way of learning more about our own, as we explore the way these stories relate to and reinforce our Unitarian Universalist Principles and values.
We are two weeks into the course — our third class meeting is 28 February 2012.
There is no class on 21 February 2012 because of the Board and Council Meeting. But if you would still like to join us, order your book from Amazon and speak to Virginia Villarreal about what you will need to do to catch up.
If you have not had Spanish before, you may have difficulty joining us after 28 February 2012 and may want to consider waiting until the course is offered again.
Please join us for “Social Darwinism is Alive and Well in America – And What Can We Do About It?” by Dr. Robert Jordan, Ph.D. this Wednesday (22 February 2012) from 11:30 AM – 1:00 PM
Psychologist Dr. Bob Jordan explores the idea that some people in power who profess not to believe in Darwin’s Theory of Evolution still seem to have no problem subscribing to “Survival of the Fittest” as a way to run a society.
Bring your lunch and bring your friends. As always, the Brown Bag is free of charge and open to all.
This Tuesday (21 February 2012) at 6:00 PM we will be having our monthly Board and Program Council Meetings.
These meetings are open to all members and friends of the church. However, if you wish to speak at the meeting, you must contact Virginia Villarreal (Board Secretary) to get on the agenda.
“Companions for the Journey” — Come join us to hear Danette Moore, Ken Peterson, and Carmen Cambre tell the stories of how they came to All Souls and why they stay. The All Souls Choir will sing.

For this Sunday’s worship (5 February 2012) at 11:00 AM, Rev. Barbara Jarrell will be in the pulpit.
This Sunday (5 February 2012) immediately after our worship service, please join us for this fundraiser presented by our children.
The 2nd – 5th Grade Class has been learning about the tradition of service in many of the world’s religions and our own Unitarian Universalist tradition. They have decided to raise money for one cause close to home and one cause helping people in the wider world.
They will donate half their proceeds to Heifer International and the other half to the Erosion Abatement Project here at All Souls.
The sale will continue for the next two Sundays — culminating with the intergenerational worship service on 19 February 2012.
This is a Winter Retreat with Singer/Songwriter Peter Mayer. It’s happening from Friday, 10 February 2012 to Sunday, 12 February 2012.
