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
For 23 October 2022, both classes will have a regular classroom session.
PreK – 5th Grade will continue Toolbox of Faith this week discussing humor represented by sandpaper (because both can often help to smooth things over).
Middle and High School will play a game of UU Jeopardy and also plan for their Bake Sale on 29 and 30 October 2022 benefiting Hope House. They will have more to share with the congregation about that.
Please join us on Sunday (23 October 2022) as we resume our adult religious education class at 9:00 AM for “WhUU Dat” via Zoom and facilitated by Susan Caldwell and Barbara Deger.
We are our exploring and discussing readings from the Unitarian Universalist Pocket Guide.
This week’s reading includes the Foreward by Melissa Harris-Perry, the Preface by UUA President Rev. Susan Frederick-Gray, a short reading by Rev. Thandeka, and the reading entitled “Our Faith” by Rev. Rosemary Bray-McNatt.
This week’s reading has been sent out to the regulars as a PDF document and we are also working on getting copies of the book to everyone who needs one.
We have four copies available at the church and can order more as needed.
Please join us next Tuesday (25 October 2022) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.
Bring your lunch and meet up with your All Souls friends, have lunch, and just catch up.
Please join us on Saturday (22 October 2022) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.
