Building and Grounds Work Day (12 March 2022)

Please join us on Saturday (12 March 2022) from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.

Along with the other inside and outside tasks, we will be digging a new hole for yet another rainbow banner — the fourth one replacing the third one that was recently stolen.

This is in preparation for our Sunday worship service at 11:00 AM on 13 March 2022.

As part of Sunday’s worship service, we will also be placing a sign informing the thieves that every time they harm or steal the banner, All Souls will make a donation to an LGBTQ-friendly organization in their honor.

For screen readers — the graphic above is a montage of pictures of various people working on the building and on the grounds, doing various tasks — sweeping, weeding, vacuuming, changing light bulbs, cleaning gutters.

The information posted with the graphic is the same information found in this web site article including the sign that says “Any time this flag is damaged, defaced, or stolen, we will make a donation in your honor to an organization that advocates for LGBTQ+ community. Thank you for your support!”

Online and Offline Giving Options During COVID-19 Pandemic — Updated 6 March 2022

Due to the recent COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic and the  restrictions limiting us from having worship in face-to-face settings, we need to find another ways to keep everything happening at All Souls.

If you want to donate to All Souls, you can click on the link provided to our secure donations server.

On this site, there are four options for your donation:

  • Current Year Pledges
  • Capital Fund Drive
  • Collection Plate (for give-away-the-plate contributions)
  • General Fund

Pick the desired options for your donation.  Your donation can be a one-time donation or a recurring donation (weekly, bi-weekly, monthly, or yearly).

Note:  If you give online, be sure to include your name in your entry. Several of our pledges are showing up anonymously.  If you wish to remain anonymous, thank you for your generosity and we will certainly honor that.  But if you want credit on your All Souls pledge statement, be sure you are filling in the space that says “Name on Card.”

If the name on the card is different from the pledging member, please specify the name on the pledge account in the Comments section and again — thank you!

If you want to send a check, please mail your check to:

All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church
9449 Ellerbe Road
Shreveport LA  71106

Please indicate on the memo line of your check if your check is for the current year pledge campaign, the capital fund drive, the collection plate, or the general fund.

Thanks for your continued support during these challenging times.

Online All-Ages Worship (13 February 2022)

Please join us on Sunday (13 February 2022) at 11:00 AM for “The Great Unfolding” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

Rev. Barbara is in the pulpit this Sunday — we will have online-only worship for just one more Sunday.

Our service will be livestreamed on Facebook Live here.

The number of new COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations has dropped  to the point that we will return to in-person worship next Sunday (20 February 2022).

However, we will continue to provide a livestream of our worship services as well when we resume in-person worship.

We hope to resume in-person religious education classes for children and youth resume in March 2022.

Our February 2022 give-away-the-plate recipient is the Whitney Plantation.

While we are remaining physically distant, we want to know how you are doing, what you need, and what you are interested in.  You can let us know using these online surveys.

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