Give Away the Plate for November 2018
Our “Give Away the Plate” recipient for November 2018 is The Philadelphia Center. From their website:
The Philadelphia Center developed in the spring of 1990 as concerned citizens responding to the HIV/AIDS epidemic as it spread into the Shreveport area of Louisiana. Over the past 20 years, The Philadelphia Center has expanded to become the only HIV/AIDS resource center in Region VII. The Philadelphia Center serves the parishes of Caddo, Bossier, Webster, Claiborne, Bienville, Red River, DeSoto, Sabine, and Natchitoches.
For the month of November 2018, All Souls will donate half of all our non-pledge income to the Philadelphia Center for a sponsorship of their 2019 Resolution Run in January.

Building and Grounds Work Day (13 October 2018)
Please join us on Saturday (13 October 2018) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.
Most of the work of maintaining our spiritual home is done by the members and friends of All Souls.
We have tasks for all ages and abilities — indoors and out.
One of the best ways to build community with your All Souls friends is to work side by side sprucing up our church home.
Come for the whole time or just for a little while — or if you can’t stay, consider dropping off some snacks for the crew.
We appreciate any and all efforts to help — hope to see you Saturday!

Give Away the Plate for September 2019
We have changed the way we do our Give Away the Plate donations each month.
Instead of taking up just one collection per month, we are giving half of our non-pledge income each week to one organization for the entire month.
This month’s Give Away the Plate is going to Northern and Central Louisiana Interfaith to help pay the dues we have pledged as a member organization.
