Taste of Interfaith (Sunday, 3 December 2023)

Taste of Interfaith is happening on Sunday (3 December 2023) from 3:00 PM to 4:30 PM — All are welcome!

Taste of Interfaith is happening at Williams Memorial CME Temple (3301 St. Matthias Way, Shreveport LA  71119)

Come and join with our Interfaith partners as we celebrate this year’s victories, welcome new member institutions, and unveil our strategy for 2024.

This year’s event will be more of a celebration than a fundraiser, and in that spirit, tickets are free, but you must get a ticket to attend.

You can still register online.

In addition to celebrating the victories of 2023 and unveiling our plans for 2024, the event will feature music throughout the afternoon as well as food from our member institutions.

Let us know this Sunday if you are able to attend.

All Ages Worship and Thanksgiving Feast (19 November 2023)

Please join us on Sunday (19 November 2023) at 11:00 AM for annual Thanksgiving worship service and potluck feast.

Our annual service of Thanksgiving begins with a short service in the sanctuary followed by an inclusive communion ritual in the social hall and culminating in our annual feast.

All are welcome.

Please sign up here to let us know what you can bring for the feast.

If you cannot bring anything, please come anyway.  We will have plenty to share and the post-feast clean-up crew will always welcome your help.

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.

The sanctuary portion of our worship service will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live here if you cannot attend in person.

The risk for Caddo, Bossier and De Soto Parishes (the Shreveport metro area) are all low — 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 November 2023 give-away-the-plate recipient is the Food Bank of Northwest Louisiana.

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

If you are looking for a place and time where you can join others and celebrate the holiday with others, please join us on Thanksgiving Day (Thursday, 23 November 2023) at 2:00 PM for a Thanksgiving Day potluck dinner.

Monthly Building and Grounds Work Day (18 November 2023)

Our monthly building and grounds work day is normally on the second Saturday of each month.

For November 2023, it will be on the third Saturday (18 November 2023) from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM.

Last weekend, we had LA-AID guests staying in our building and the weather was uncertain for outdoor tasks.  Because of these issues, we moved the building and grounds work day to Saturday, 18 November 2023.

There are tasks inside and out for all ages and abilities.

Thanks for your flexibility and understanding.

For November, we are moving our building and grounds work day to the third Saturday (18 November 2023) from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM

We have LA -AID guests staying with us through the second weekend in November and the weather is iffy for the second weekend.

Thanks for your flexibility and understanding.

Building Sale Update — 11 November 2023

The building will be going on the market sooner than we initially anticipated so the sign will be out front soon.

Even knowing this is coming, we did not want you to be blindsided by the sign’s appearance.

Board President Sally Wood will be calling congregants to schedule small group meetings to keep everyone updated on the progress of the sale.

You can use this link to sign up for small group meetings.
