HandsAndFlamesChaliceWe will be following brunch with an all-ages Worship Service — “This Holy Inclination” where we will explore our First Source (“transcending mystery and wonder, affirmed in all cultures”) though the lens of our Third Source (“Wisdom of the world’s religions which inspires us in our ethical and spiritual life”).  This will be a service of music, scripture and story from the great traditions of the world.

BrunchWe will be having a brunch at 9:00 AM instead of the all-ages Religious Education classes.  Please bring a breakfast or brunch-type dish to share, and join us before the worship service.

Our 9:00 AM classes will resume next Sunday (2 March 2014).

Please join us on Saturday (1 February 2014) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our media sale.  Here’s what might happen:

  • You have the perfect opportunity to reduce, reuse and recycle.
  • You finally find the DVD of that wonderful, obscure indy film you’ve been seeking for years, or the one book by your favorite author that you never got around to reading, or that perfectly functional little TV or radio you can put in the kitchen.
  • The church makes a little money — everybody wins — what’s not to love?

It’s still not too late to donate your unwanted media items, including books, CDs, DVDs, TVs, cameras, stereos, radios, media players of all sorts.  Bring them by the church on Friday (31 January 2014) between 10:00 AM and 2:00 PM.

Questions?  Contact Kathy Osuch via email or phone (318-861-6729).

Dr. Martin Luther King, All Souls will host a Social Justice Fair in conjunction with our Sunday service.  Local organizations working for justice in various arenas are invited to have a table in the Social Hall to distribute literature, to promote the work of your organization, and to network with others.

For our 10:30 AM worship service, retired Shreveport civil rights attorney Henry Walker will speak on “Foxes in the Hen House” which discusses the civil rights issues currently confronting our community, our state and our nation.  Henry is always an inspiring speaker and will help you get recharged for the work ahead as we begin 2014.

Stop the repeal of Fairness Ordinance

This comes from Adrienne Critcher (PACE Political Director):

HELP STOP REPEAL ATTEMPT OF SHREVEPORT FAIRNESS ORDINANCE!

YOUR HELP IS NEEDED! On Tuesday (14 January 2014), the Shreveport City Council will vote on an ordinance that would legalize discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.

The Shreveport Fairness Ordinance prohibiting discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity just passed overwhelmingly by 6-1 on 10 December 2013 and now — the lone dissenting voter — Ron Webb is immediately trying to get it repealed. The repeal will be voted on 14 January 2014.

Please do 2 things:

  1. Attend the City Council meeting (3:00 PM, 14 January 2014, 505 Travis Street, Shreveport LA). The Facebook event is here.
  2. Please contact the City Council to ask them to continue to support the Shreveport Fairness Ordinance by voting against its repeal. Ask them to vote against Ron Webb’s attempt to legalize discrimination! Be positive–passage of the Fairness Ordinance got national attention branding Shreveport as forward-looking and welcoming to all! Thank the City Council for its overwhelming support of the ordinance and ask them to reject the repeal. Email the entire city council (council@shreveportla.gov) or email just the 6 council members who voted for the Fairness Ordinance:

Thanks,
Adrienne
