Mother’s Day Poetry Service — 14 May 2023

For Mother’s Day 2023, we are featuring a service of poetry and songs — and we want your help.

Whether you are a mom, a poet, a mom/poet, or  you know of a poem or song that your mom (or someone who was like a mom for you) loved, we would love to have you join us and share that at our Mother’s Day worship service (1100 AM on Sunday, 14 May 2023).

Whether you want to read the poem or sing the song yourself or submit it for someone else to read or sing, please email Susan Caldwell by Wednesday (10 May 2023).

Pride in the Park (30 April 2023)

All Souls will be participating in the 2023 Pride in the Park event on Sunday (30 April 2023) from 11:00 AM to 3:00 PM at Columbia Park in Shreveport, Louisiana.

This event has been rescheduled from Saturday to Sunday due to rainy weather forecasted for Saturday.

The setup time for our All Souls booth is 9:30 AM on Sunday.

Susan Caldwell will bring the canopy, brochures, banner, table, chairs, and giveaway items to the site. However, she will need at least 3 other people to help with unloading and setting everything up.

Celebration of the Life of Ken Peterson (Saturday, 29 April 2023)

Please join us for a celebration of the life of Ken Peterson this Saturday (29 April 2023) at 3:30 PM at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church.

There will be a reception and more time for remembrance following this service in the church social hall.

Family and friends will gather on Saturday afternoon to remember and celebrate a life that has touched so many other lives in many ways.

At All Souls, Ken served as greeter, religious education teacher, board member, speaker, and friend to many.

Ken’s impact extended beyond our church to the job he loved (teaching at the LSU Shreveport Medical School), his work with the Boy Scouts, time spent with friends in the Men’s Group, and (in his favorite places of all) any place where he could spend time with his children.

Several members and friends have asked if they can bring food to share at the reception.  The answer is “yes, the family would welcome those contributions.”
