2023 Pledge Drive

All Souls members and friends — we need your 2023 pledges by 15 January 2023.

Money in the collection basket is great, but a pledge helps us know how to budget for the needs of the church in the coming year.

You are the best judge of your finances and capabilities.  Don’t give till it hurts — give till it feels good — in a way that respects your own priorities and your budget.

Haven’t turned in your pledge yet — Here are three ways to make your 2023 pledge and turn it in:

  • Find that form you got in your mail, fill it out, and mail it back to All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church (9449 Ellerbe Road, Shreveport LA 71106) or scan and attach to an email to our treasurer Rebecca Tuggle.
  • Grab a form at church, fill it out, and turn it in right there.
  • Fill out the online pledge form by scanning the QR code above or clicking here.

Thank you for your support of All Souls.

Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship Service Tonight (24 December 2022)

Please join us on Christmas Eve (Saturday, 24 December 2022) at 6:30 PM for our annual Christmas Eve Candlelight Worship Service.

This is a candlelight service including a reading of the Christmas story from the Gospel of Luke, lighting candles in the darkness, silence, meditation, and carols.

All ages are welcome.

Please bring the kids by 5:45 PM to help us with something special at the beginning of the service.  We are trying something a little different and a lot of fun this year.

And please bring cookies and other snacks that are just sitting around the house and share them with others in the social hall after the service.

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.

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.

We will still have KN95 masks available in the foyer for anyone who needs one.

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 December 2022 give-away-the-plate recipient is North Louisiana Interfaith.

Remember to support our “mitten tree” cold weather children’s clothing drive for Maggie Lee’s Closet.

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

Mitten Tree for Maggie Lee’s Closet

The Mitten Tree for Maggie Lee’s Closet returns.

The tree will be up in the sanctuary this Sunday — so bring new mittens, gloves, scarves, hats, and coats for children to decorate the tree.

They will later go to Maggie Lee’s Closet at Highland Center Ministries — a children’s clothing closet that is free to families in need.
