Building and Grounds Work Day (13 August 2022)

Please join us on Saturday (13 August 2022) from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.

Nearly all of the work maintaining our physical space is done by our members and friends who show up each month and do what needs to be done.

There are tasks for all ages and abilities.  Working side by side is a great way to get to know your All Souls friends a little better.

Special Congregational Meeting (14 August 2022)

Please join us on Sunday (14 August 2022) at 1215 PM or immediately after the worship service (whichever comes later) for a special congregational meeting.

You can attend in person in the sanctuary or you can attend via Zoom.

  • Adding to Article IV (Purposes), a new Section A, as follows: Said organization is organized exclusively for charitable, religious and educational purposes, including , for such purposes, the making of distributions to organizations that qualify as exempt organizations described under Section 501(c)3 of the Internal Revenue code, or corresponding section of any future federal tax code.
  • Amending Article VIII, Section A as follows: This congregation recognizes and obligates itself to conform to the constitution and by-laws of the Unitarian Universalist Association.
  • Amending Article VIII, Section B as follows: In the event of the dissolution of this corporation, all property and assets shall pass to the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Although the number of new COVID cases and hospitalizations has increased in the Shreveport metro area, we are still safe to have to in-person worship at this time.

When we are indoors at All Souls, we will continue to require proof of vaccination for all attendees ages 11 and up.  However, if you cannot be vaccinated, we also accept a negative COVID test in the past 24 hours.  We are also required the wearing of masks for all in-person attendees.

Religious education classes for children and youth will not be happening today.  Instead, our children and youth will remain with us for the potluck and General Assembly worship.

Our June 2022 give-away-the-plate recipient is Louisiana Trans Advocates.

While we are remaining physically distant, we want to know how you are doing, what you need, and what you are interested in.  You can let us know using these online surveys.

And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
