Please join us next Wednesday (1 April 2026) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.

Please join us on Saturday (28 March 2026) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.
This group will be meeting via Zoom and not in person.
This is a sitting Buddhist meditation including a brief introduction to mindfulness meditation, 20 minutes of sitting, and followed by a weekly teaching.
Please join us this Sunday (22 March 2026) at 11:00 AM for “The Web Has Two Faces” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
Our service will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live here if you cannot attend in person.
We are moving our videos from Facebook to YouTube for long-term storage and viewing — you can find our worship videos on YouTube here.
State-level COVID data can be found on the Louisiana Department of Health’s respiratory virus dashboard web page. The most sensitive metric to follow for current COVID trends is the “Laboratory Surveillance Data” link.
Flu and RSV are both showing declines in their numbers.
COVID is maintaining low but persistent numbers.
Masking and COVID vaccination are optional for attending in-person events at All Souls.
We encourage you to be vaccinated against COVID and to also have the most-current COVID booster shots. This provides greater protection to the individual and the church community.
Anyone who prefers wearing a mask is welcome to do so for in-person events and attending worship through livestream video is also an option where required for medical or schedule conflict reasons.
We will still have KN95 masks available in the foyer for anyone who needs one.
We continue to recommend that you stay home if you have any symptoms and that you keep up with all available vaccinations and boosters.
If you are recovering from COVID and have no symptoms, you should mask in public until you have tested negative twice in a 48 hour period.
We also ask that you go by the previous CDC guidelines of waiting at least 5 days past the onset of symptoms rather than the current 24 hour recommendation.
If you have symptoms for COVID or other respiratory illness, please stay home and take care of yourself.
Our March 2026 give-away-the-plate recipient is the YWCA of Northwest Louisiana.

For this Sunday (22 March 2026), our children and youth will continue their exploration of peace, social justice, and the interdependent web.

You can sleep in a little and join us for the 11:00 AM worship service.
Our adult religious education class will be back next Sunday (29 March 2026).
