Please join us next Wednesday (30 July 2025) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.
Between the blazing hot weather and the busy lives of our regular participants, our in-person Zoom lunches are on hold for the time being but the link is always open to join at noon every Wednesday.
Please join us next Sunday (27 July 2025) at 11:00 AM as we welcome Nida Abu Baker back to our pulpit (in person and in streaming video).
Nida is the daughter of Shukri Abu Baker (a member of the Holy Land Five still serving out a 65-year sentence for establishing the Holy Land Foundation charity that provided food, medicine, and educational supplies to Palestinian children and families).
Shukri Abu Baker and his charity founder partners were charged with “providing material support to Hamas.”
During his incarceration, Shukri has continued to write poetry and to draw, a testament to his relentless spirit. Nida will give us an update on how he is doing and read to us from his new book — Light from Deep Under.
We will also have an informal gathering after the service in the social hall where our members and friends in attendance will have a chance to talk with Nida and ask questions.
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.
Anyone interested in displaying or selling art should text Trinity Conant at 318-527-7848.
Please join us on Saturday (30 August 2025) for Yoga for Palestine with Dr. Mythili Bhat to benefit Al Jawad School for Displaced Children in the Gaza Strip.
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.
