Update for All Souls Worship Video Library

The All Souls Sunday morning worship video library is moving from Facebook to YouTube.

Starting on 15 March 2020, All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church of Shreveport, Louisiana began to provide an online video of our Sunday morning worship services.

We did this to ensure that our members were safe during the initial COVID-19 pandemic.  An additional benefit of this was that we had a library of worship video recordings available for our members and friends.

Due to policy changes at Facebook, we can no longer rely on Facebook to host our library of past worship videos.

In June 2025, these video recordings will no longer be available.

And some of our 2025 worship videos are no longer available due to this policy change at Facebook and are sadly lost forever.

We are moving all available worship videos in our video library to the All Souls YouTube channel.

This will not happen overnight but we have started moving past worship videos to YouTube this week after saving backup copies of all available videos from 2020 to 2025.

Future worship video recordings will be posted to YouTube after each worship service.

Thanks for your patience and understanding while we are moving our video library to YouTube.

Donate a Banned Book to the Banned Book Bookshelf

Starting this Sunday (18 May 2025) and beyond — donate a banned book to our congregation’s banned book bookshelf dedicated to the memory of John Tuggle.

Thanks to our Board President Sally Wood (who was inspired by a gift of banned books from her daughter) we now have a banned books bookshelf in the sanctuary foyer waiting to be filled.

Please bring one or more banned books from your home library to donate to the bookshelf.

Want to find out what books have been banned?  Check out the American Library Association’s Banned Book Lists.

You may be surprised by some of the books on it and a Unitarian Universalist is probably going to have at least one banned book in their home library.

The Banned Books Bookshelf is dedicated to the memory of our own John Tuggle who (before his death in September 2024) was Director of the Shreve Memorial Library System and a fierce advocate for the right to read the books of our choosing, free from censorship by those who would rewrite history, and even write some of our fellow citizens out of existence.

Let’s work together to build this very fitting memorial to our friend John.
