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
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, we have begun to broadcast a livestream video of our Sunday morning worship services.
This worship video will be available live and in recorded formats.
For our livestream video of our worship services, we are using Facebook Live. One does not have to log into Facebook or have a Facebook account to view this video.
Please join us this Sunday (30 June 2024) at 11:00 AM for “What They Don’t Know” by Nida AbuBaker (daughter of Shukri AbuBaker of the Holy Land Foundation Five).
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 COVID risks for Caddo, Bossier and De Soto Parishes (the Shreveport metro area) are all low as of 16 May 2024 according to the COVIDActNow website (no updates since then on this website). These parishes are also reported as “low” on the CDC’s COVID CountyCheck website.
Additional data can be found on the Louisiana Department of Health’s respiratory virus dashboard web page.
The CDC does not recommend mandatory masking for all indoor events in “low” risk areas.
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.
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.
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.
And of course — if you have symptoms (COVID or other respiratory illness) — please stay home and take care of yourself.
Our June 2024 give-away-the-plate recipient is Louisiana Trans Advocates.
And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
This Sunday’s summer fun activity during the 11:00 AM worship service is Kindness Rocks.
The children and youth will paint river rocks with messages of kindness, peace, and hope.
They can keep the rocks as reminders to themselves, give them to friends, and also leave them in random places (around the church or in their neighborhoods) to offer a hopeful message to someone they are likely never to meet.
Please join us on Sunday (30 June 2024) for our adult religious education class at 9:00 AM.
Our adult religious education class is now a dual-platform class — meeting in person in the church social hall and also on Zoom.
We will have a conversation with Nida AbuBaker (daughter of Shukri Abu Baker).
We are honored to have Nida join us for class this Sunday morning for an informal and wide-ranging conversation about her father’s arrest, trials, and imprisonment, her family’s experience, and her own life as the activist daughter of a Palestinian political prisoner in the United States.
Nida will join us via Zoom from her hotel room for the class and will be speaking in our pulpit in person at the 11:00 AM worship service.
Please join us next Wednesday (3 July 2024) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.
Our weekly Zoom lunch is returning to dual-platform access — join us from home using Zoom or in person in the social hall.
Bring your lunch and meet up with your All Souls friends, have lunch, and just catch up.
Please join us on Saturday (29 June 2024) 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.
The group is free and open to all.
