Notice of Congregational Meeting (22 December 2019)
From: Board of Directors (All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church of Shreveport, Louisiana)
To: All Members, Inactive Members, and Friends
In accordance with the Bylaws of our church and the Fifth Principle of Unitarian Universalism, we hereby announce that All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church will hold a Congregational Meeting on Sunday (22 December 2019) immediately following the 11:00 AM worship service.
On the Agenda:
- The 2020 Budget
- A change to the bylaws regarding membership categories
Please make every effort to attend.
All active members should attend this meeting or give their proxies to those who can.
Inactive members and friends of the church are invited and encouraged to participate but bylaws stipulate that only those members who have been active 30 days or longer may vote.

Transgender Day of Remembrance (16 November 2019)
The Shreveport / Bossier area Transgender Day of Remembrance (TDoR) will be happening this Saturday (16 November 2019) at 6:30 PM. The event will be held at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church (9449 Ellerbe Road, Shreveport LA).
It is a sad fact that in 2019 we must still come together to remember those who have died simply for being who they are.
However, in this commemoration we also try to lift up the triumphs, including election results in various states in the past two years.
This observance of TDoR is planned and hosted by the Shreveport chapter of Louisiana Trans Advocates.
Rally for Climate Justice (9 November 2019)
Rally for Climate Justice — Saturday, 9 November 2019 — 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM — Caddo Parish Courthouse.
Gretchen Upton and Gus Demerath (All Souls Youth) are the organizers of this community-wide Climate Justice rally.
We work on many important issues as a congregation as a part of multiple partnerships working for social justice and change.
This issue, however, is the most urgent for all of us, and is already affecting people all over the world, including in our own state of Louisiana.
