Please join us on Sunday (25 June 2023) at 9:30 AM for brunch and at 10:00 AM for a group viewing of the Sunday morning worship at this Sunday’s Unitarian Universalist General Assembly.
You can use this link to watch this worship service at home.
Join us to be part of the largest annual gathering of Unitarian Universalists worshipping together — streaming live from this year’s General Assembly Meeting in Pittsburgh PA.
Rev. Manish Mishra-Marzetti (Pittsburgh native and Senior Minister of the First Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Ann Arbor MI) will lead the service on the theme of “Ever Willing: Becoming the People Our World Needs.”
From the UUA GA program:
The pandemic has wrought change and created uncertainty for institutions, like our Unitarian Universalist congregations, and our wider world. Who and what are we becoming, individually and collectively? Our GA Sunday service explores these themes as we gather in community to celebrate the best of who we UUs are.
There is no children and youth religious education this Sunday but there will be art materials available for all ages who would like something to do with their hands while they watch the service.
The current COVID risk for the Shreveport metro area (Caddo Parish, Bossier Parish, DeSoto Parish) is now “low” and the CDC does not recommend mandatory masking for all indoor events in “low” risk areas.
See the CDC website and the COVIDActNow website for more details.
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 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.
Please use this link to evaluate the current COVID risk for the Shreveport-Bossier City metro area as you make your decisions regarding masking and other COVID preventive measures while attending All Souls.
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.

Please join us on the first of our fun religious education Summer activities for children and youth — Tie-Dye Sunday.
The Sunday before Father’s Day is our annual “Tie-Dye for Dads and Other Special People” in the religious education wing.
Children and youth should bring a 100% cotton garment to tie dye.
More than one garment will probably be OK. Bandanas, aprons, and tote bags are all OK, too, as long as they are cotton because that holds the dye better.
We will have a few extra shirts on hand for donation but bringing your own guarantees the size and style you want.
Like most Sundays at All Souls, the kids will be with us in the sanctuary until we sing them out to their activity.
Advice for those who are tie-dyeing:
