A home for Unitarian Universalism and liberal religion in Shreveport, Bossier City, and Northwest Louisiana since 1950
Please join us next Wednesday (28 October 2020) 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.
This a chance to connect and catch up midweek.
At some point we may decide to bring in speakers but for now we’re just hanging out and enjoying each other’s virtual company.
Hope to see you there!
Please join us on Saturday (24 October 2020) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.
This is a sitting Buddhist meditation including a brief introduction to mindfulness meditation, 20 minutes of sitting, and followed by a weekly teaching.
The group is free and open to all.
For more information, contact Larry via email or phone using (318) 272-0014.
If you wish to join the group, please email Larry Androes for Zoom meeting link, meeting ID, and password.
Please join us on Sunday (18 October 2020) at 11:00 AM for “A Commitment to Healing: The 8th Principle” presented by our high school youth — Eleanora Lawrence, Daniel Kennen, Gretchen Upton, Andrew Lawrence, and Ian Saucier.
Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.
Join us to hear from our High School youth leaders who will introduce us to the proposed Eighth Principle of Unitarian Universalism, its origins, its history, and the process for us to ratify it as a congregation and as an Association.
We will have a virtual coffee hour after the service on Zoom.
And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
Please join us on Sunday (18 October 2020) at 1:00 PM for our weekly family religious education online class via Zoom.
The Zoom link will be on the All Souls Religious Education Facebook group and on Slack.
If you aren’t currently a member of either online group and you are interested in having your children participate, email Susan to get an invitation to either or both online groups.
This Sunday — “Finding Balance” — we’ll continue our discussion about the ways that we find balance (literally, in our bodies, as well as in our lives, between activity and rest, work and play, giving and receiving, and more).
Please join us on Sunday (18 October 2020) at 9:00 AM for our adult religious education class — UU Elevator Speech, Session 1 — “It’s Not a Credo.”
We begin the “UU Elevator Speech” series of the Faith Forward program.
We’ll devote three sessions to figuring out brief, clear ways to explain Unitarian Universalism to our friends and neighbors (which is something very different from a credo or personal belief statement).
We can take some time to work on personal credos in future sessions.
We also have a new Slack channel for the group (#sundayadultRE) on the All Souls Slack workspace (AllSoulsUU).
If you haven’t yet been invited to the AllSoulsUU Slack workspace, email Susan and you will get an invitation right away.
The All Souls middle and high school youth will be meeting via Zoom for religious education this Friday (16 October 2020) at 4:30 PM (email Susan Caldwell — Director of Religious Education — for Zoom link information).
We will check in, celebrate this past week’s worship service, and we will decide where we go from here.
