Please join us at the end of summer swim party and potluck immediately after our annual water communion worship service at the home of Kathy Osuch and Mike Roberts.
Once again, we are grateful to Kathy and Mike for opening their wonderful yard and pool to us for this annual gathering.
We will celebrate summer before the new church year begins.
Bring a dish to share, bring the kids, bring your friends, and join us.
You do not have to swim to attend but please know that we are a non-body-shaming congregation (believing that all ages, shapes, and sizes deserve to cool off in water when it’s so frickin’ hot outside).
The address for the pool party will be provided at church on Sunday and via the All Souls Shreveport Caring Connection Facebook group.

Our monthly building and ground work day has moved to the summer schedule — Saturday, 10 August 2024 from 9:00 AM to 2:00 PM.
With warmer summer weather, our monthly building and grounds work day will be changing to an earlier schedule (9:00 AM to 2:00 PM) in hopes of avoiding the heat.
Other than basic mowing and indoor cleaning, most of the work to maintain our physical space is done by the members and friends of All Souls.
We have tasks indoors and out for all ages and ability levels and there is a high probability of snacks.

Please join us this Sunday (28 July 2024) at 11:00 AM for our annual Artist Sunday worship service.
This Sunday is a worship experience for all ages in celebration of the arts and the artists.
Every element of the service is an artistic performance.
This Sunday’s celebration contains a great mix of music and spoken word, and perhaps a few surprises.
Come before and after to view the art show and sale in the Religious Education wing and to shop our vendors.
There is no booth fee for the art show and sale, and artists who sell their work may keep their proceeds. To learn more Artist Sunday or to participate in Artist Sunday, contact Susan Caldwell by email or text message.
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 CDC’s COVID CountyCheck website.
Additional data can be found on the Louisiana Department of Health’s respiratory virus dashboard web page. The most sensitive metric to follow for current COVID trends is the “Laboratory Surveillance Data” link. The link is currently showing a marked increase in positive COVID tests and influenza tests as of 20 July 2024.
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 July 2024 give-away-the-plate recipient is North Louisiana Interfaith.

There will be no 9:00 AM adult religious education class this Sunday (28 July 2024).
The social hall will be set up for the visual art show and sale that is part of our annual Artist Sunday celebration.
Come and see it, shop our vendors, and attend the worship service!
The adult religious education class will resume on the following Sunday (4 August 2024) at 9:00 AM.
