All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church of Shreveport, Louisiana
A home for Unitarian Universalism and liberal religion in Shreveport, Bossier City, and Northwest Louisiana since 1950
On Friday morning (10 May 2019) at 10:00 AM, we hope as many of you as possible can join us to welcome Rev. Dr. William Barber II.
Rev. Barber is bringing the Poor People’s Campaign here to Shreveport.
We realize the morning event may be hard for many to attend — but if you can possibly take the time off — this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you and our church.
Friends and family of Hazel Martin will gather on Saturday (27 April 2019) at 3:30 PM in the sanctuary to celebrate her life (Hazel passed away on 10 March 2019 in Raleigh NC).
Hazel was a longtime active member of All Souls and a dedicated Unitarian Universalist at the district and national level as well.
A tribute to Hazel and her many contributions to church life is on page 2 of the April 2019 newsletter.
We will have a reception in the social hall for those in attendance immediately following the service.
We would appreciate more help with set-up and clean-up for that event and — if anyone can bring some nice cookies, pastries, or a fruit or veggie tray to go with the food we already have coming, that would be lovely.
Join us to welcome Hazel’s family and to celebrate a great life well lived!
Due to adverse weather on Saturday (13 April 2019), PACE‘s annual Pride in the Park event has been moved to Sunday (14 April 2019).
The event will now be happening on Sunday (14 April 2019) from noon to 5:00 PM.
And the community-based Our Whole Lives Grades 10-12 sexuality education course that is hosted by All Souls will not meet on Sunday afternoon.
Many of our OWL class facilitators and youth participants will be attending Pride in the Park and promoting the Our Whole Lives values in their daily lives.

Please join us on Saturday (9 March 2019) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.
Most of the work for our church home is done by us — the members and friends of All Souls.
Weather permitting — we’ll have tasks both outdoors and indoors.
But rain or shine, we’ll have jobs for all ages and abilities.
Come join us for the whole time, or just an hour or so if that’s all the time you have. Every little bit helps.
Can’t stay this Saturday — consider dropping off some snacks for the work crew.
This March 2019, Noel Food Pantry is requesting:
Buy one or more of any or all of these items, bring them in a bag (any color bag) on Sunday and place your bag in the hatch of the green Kia Soul that will be parked out front.
JoDel Adkins will take the food to Noel on Monday when she volunteers there.
The All Souls Committee on Ministry will continue hosting “Lunch and Learn” Potlucks on 10 and 17 March 2019.
In an ongoing effort to bring more members into full engagement with church life, the Committee on Ministry will host “Lunch and Learn” potlucks for discussion of the book Moving on from Church Folly Lane by Rev. Robert T. Latham.
The potlucks sessions will take place on 10 and 17 March 2019 immediately after our worship service.
Child care will be provided for the discussion part of the event.
For more information, contact Amanda Lawrence at 318-402-3314 or via email here.
Come join us this Saturday evening (16 February 2019) at 7:00 PM for a party to mourn Jeff Gauger’s leaving and to celebrate his time among us.
In the short time Jeff has been here at All Souls, he has served on the board, sung in the choir, preached a sermon, and has done spoken word pieces for Artist Sunday and for our recent New Year’s service.
We are sad to lose him from the church and from the community, but this is our chance to let him know how much we appreciate him!
Bring a snack to share (think “heavy hors d’oeuvres”) and whatever you’d like to drink.
We’ll have some beer, wine, water, lemonade, and coffee available, but more and different options will be welcome.
To help with setup, cleanup, or any aspect of the party, contact Bennett Upton at 318-553-7321.
