“A Long, Strange Trip” Unitarian Universalist History Film Series Continues

Please join us this Tuesday (31 July 2012) from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM for Part III of our Unitarian Universalist history series on “American Unitarianism.”

Even if you haven’t seen Parts I and II, join us this Tuesday evening for a look at our Unitarian roots on this continent.  Although the films are part of a series, each one also stands well on its own and you are more than welcome to join us.  We also plan to repeat the complete series in the not-too-distant future.

For more information, to let her know you are coming to the class, and especially if you need child care, please email Susan Caldwell or call her at 318-465-3427.

Highland Blessing Dinner — 2 August 2012

Our next regularly scheduled evening to work the Highland Blessing Dinner is Thursday (2 August 2012) at The Highland Center (520 Olive Street, Shreveport LA).

Since the meal is served at 6:00 PM, volunteers please be there no later than 5:15 PM.  Please note that extra volunteers are welcome on any Thursday evening.

Although there is no means test required and we feed the first 77 people who come to the door, our hope is to help those families and individuals who “fall though the cracks” of social services, and to build community with the people who come to the dinners, and with our partner congregations.

A sign-up sheet will soon be back up in the foyer. Sign up for the job you want, then pick up a handout that describes all the jobs. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with one or two other jobs in addition to your first choice, in case the needs of the evening change.
