Artist Sunday 2025 will happen on 10 August 2025 at 11:00 AM — a beloved All Souls tradition returns.
At the Artist Sunday worship service, every element of the service is some form of performing art, whether singing, dancing, instrumental music, or some other kind of performance.
Past celebrations have included magicians, belly dancers, contortionists, karate and tai chi demonstrations, and multiple variations on performance art.
On that same Sunday, we will also feature and art show and sale in the Religious Education wing.
There are two session times — 10:30 AM – 12:00 PM and 5:00 PM – 6:30 PM — fee by donation.
Join us for either or both of two sessions of yoga taught by Dr. Mythili Bhat — a yoga teacher with Yogis for Palestine. Both classes will be the same, so you can choose the one that fits your schedule or even attend both.
The classes will be open to all levels of yoga ability.
The Al Jawad School is the idea of Hadeel Al-Gharbawi (a journalist from the Gaza Strip who started by establishing an educational tent and is now preparing to establish a number of tents throughout the region).
These educational tents provide children with meaningful daytime activities, emotional support from a psychologist, instruction in languages and math, and essential skills such as hygiene to increase their survival chances amid diseases and epidemics. They learn kindness towards animals as well.
Please join us on Saturday (28 June 2025) from 12:00 PM to 5:00 PM for the Pride in Due Process Protest Festival at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church.
Join us in an intersectional celebration of Pride brought to you by DSA Shreveport and various other groups including All Souls.
The event will feature speakers, table displays, music, games and more.
As the sign says — Rights for y’all means rights for all!
Don’t let them take your joy — come on out and connect with your community!
Please note that this 10:00 AM time is a change from the usual 11:00 AM worship service time. We will have the church doors open at 9:30 AM so you can get settled in before the live video starts up.
We will be watching the live video from Baltimore along with the GA delegates and other Unitarian Universalists around the world while also enjoying a potluck brunch in the social hall.
Leading the year’s UUA GA gathering for 2025 will be the Rev. Dr. Nicole C. Kirk (the Rev. Dr. Frank and Alice Schulman Chair of Unitarian Universalist History at Meadville Lombard Theological School in Chicago).
Our service will not be livestreamed on Facebook Live for this week only — if you cannot attend for the in-person brunch event, you can watch the livestream video at home:
State-level COVID 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 COVID and RSV maintaining low levels with flu having a slight increase in our state as of 14 June 2025.
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.
