All Ages Worship (26 February 2023)

Please join us on Sunday (26 February 2023) at 11:00 AM for “Who Are You in the Story?  Drawing Wisdom from the World’s Religions”
with the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.

We will be meeting in the sanctuary for this worship service.  Please join us in person at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 9449 Ellerbe Road, Shreveport LA  71106 if you are able to do so.

Our service will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live here if you cannot attend in person.

The current COVID risk for the Shreveport metro area (Caddo Parish, Bossier Parish, DeSoto Parish) is now “low” and the CDC does not recommend mandatory masking for all indoor events in “low” risk areas.

See the CDC website and the COVIDActNow website for more details.

Starting on 13 November 2022, masks will be optional indoors at All Souls.

Anyone who prefers to keep wearing a mask is welcome to do so and attending worship through livestream video is also an option.

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.

Please use this link to evaluate the current COVID risk for the Shreveport-Bossier City metro area as you make your decisions regarding masking and other COVID preventive measures while attending All Souls.

We no longer require proof of vaccination against COVID for all attendees ages 11 and up for indoor events.

However, we do strongly encourage that anyone attending our worship services or other indoor events at All Souls be vaccinated against COVID.

Please use good judgment and stay home if you have any symptoms.  Even those who have tested negative for COVID can later test positive.

Our February 2023 give-away-the-plate recipient is the Whitney Plantation Museum.

And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.

Online Adult Religious Education — 26 February 2023

Please join us on Sunday (26 February 2023) as we begin a new series in our our adult religious education class at 9:00 AM.

Our adult religious education class is still meeting via Zoom.

We have several persons in the adult religious education class who are new to our faith tradition and others who would like a chance to revisit the principles around that Unitarian Universalist congregations covenant to affirm and promote (including the eighth principle).

We are going to take some Sundays to do that.

How many Sundays?  We don’t know yet.

We are also be continuing the conversation about “Where do we go from here?”

If you have questions, email Susan Caldwell or text her with your questions.
