17 September 2017 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (17 September 2017) at 11:00 AM for “Home in a Community of Seekers” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.  This is our annual homecoming service.

Whether you have been a longtime member, a member who hasn’t attended in awhile, a former member or a friend; we want you to come home and to feel at home in this covenanted community where love will always call us back.

We will be recognizing new members and honoring those members who have reached the 25 year mark.  Please come and join us in celebrating them.

We will have a potluck lunch immediately following the service.  Please bring a dish to share and join us for the celebration. If you can help with setup or cleanup, please call or text Amanda Lawrence at 318-402-3314.

Religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service.  Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.

Beyond Galilee Screening — 17 September 2017

Please join us on Sunday (17 September 2017) at 6:00 PM for a screening of the documentary Beyond Galilee.

In August of 1958, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was invited to Shreveport, Louisiana to deliver a speech at the Galilee Baptist Church as part of a voter registration workshop.  Beyond Galilee explores how the Civil Rights movement evolved in Shreveport in the years that followed — highlighting the key events of the movement in Shreveport through the testimonies of the actual participants supplemented by news footage, rare audio, home movies and photos from the era.  Beyond Galilee chronicles a vital part of Shreveport’s history and provides much needed insight and perspective into the city’s role in the national Civil Rights movement (summary from IMDb page for this documentary).

Helping the Helpers

Who deserves a “thank you” this Christmas Eve?  Firefighters, ER staff, police, EMTs, etc?

Maybe the employees at your neighborhood convenience store, who don’t save lives but might have saved your dinner by carrying that ingredient you forgot?

Please bring cookies or other holiday snacks to the church social hall on Friday (23 December 2016) between 5:00 PM and 7:00 PM.

Amanda Lawrence and friends will then divide the goodies up into decorative trays.

After the Christmas Eve service, everyone  is invited to grab a tray or two and deliver them to wherever they see fit.

Please note, we cannot accept snacks that need refrigeration or heating.
