At a time when so much is in question, including the holiday itself, it would be tempting either to pass it by completely, or to continue to celebrate without confronting difficult truths.
Neither path is a solution.
Instead, we do pause to give thanks for all we have in this life, including our right to tell and teach the truth, which is the only path toward true healing.
After a brief service in the sanctuary, we participate together in an inclusive communion of gratitude in the social hall, followed by a potluck feast.
While with other potlucks, we tend to keep it loose and trust that the Universe will provide, for this one, we like to have a bit more of a plan — to bring our “A game” as Amanda Lawrence (aka the Potluck Goddess) has often said.
To that end, please sign up here to let us know what you can bring.
Please join us next Tuesday (15 November 2022) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.
Bring your lunch and meet up with your All Souls friends, have lunch, and just catch up.

Please join us on Saturday (29 October 2022) at 3:00 PM for a Samhain ritual with Ár nDraíocht Féin (a Druid Fellowship).
The Thistle Grove of Ár nDraíocht Féin invites one and all to their ritual in celebration of Samhain (pronouned SAH-win) — an ancient Celtic festival of the dead that is the source of many of our Halloween traditions but is not the same as Halloween.
Samhain on the Druid calendar is the turning of the year — a time for remembrance and reverence of the dead.
Though family-friendly and welcoming to all, the ritual is a more solemn occasion than a Halloween celebration and will include a speaking of the names of those who have died.
We will have a special ritual of remembrance for our friend Rae Goins and we invite you to honor your own departed loved ones as you participate in this spiritual ritual and learning experience.
We also invite you and yours to stick around afterward for our Halloween celebration — Trunk-or-Treat which begins at 5:00 PM.
Next weekend, we will have a bake sale sponsored by our middle and high school youth group. The proceeds of this bake sale will go to Holy Cross Hope House:
Hope House provides essential services such as meals, mailboxes, phones, showers, and laundry services for unhoused people in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana.
Please join us for our annual Halloween Trunk-or-Treat event on Saturday (29 October 2022) from 5:00 PM to 7:00 PM.
Decorate your car – and yourself — bring some candy or something kid-friendly and fun to give away — and if you want, a game or craft for the children to do at your car.
Children will trick or treat from car to car — fun for all ages!
The Middle and High School class will also be having a bake sale at the event.
