A home for Unitarian Universalism and liberal religion in Shreveport, Bossier City, and Northwest Louisiana since 1950
The All Souls Chapter of Interweave will meet at 12:30 PM following Sunday (10 June 2012) worship service.
Interweave is a Unitarian Universalist organization for Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender persons and their allies.
All Souls Interweave meets on the second Sunday of each month after the 11:00 AM worship service. All interested and supportive persons are welcome. For more information, contact Pamela Raintree at 318-946-0367.
Please join us this Saturday (9 June 2012) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our building and grounds work day
There are many ways to serve the church and to build community with other church members and friends as you serve.
One way is to come to a building and grounds work day.
Beyond the basic lawn service, all the work of our grounds is done by members and friends.
We have chores for all skill levels — even “0” skill level — inside and outside. And we always have a lot of fun. Sometimes,we have so much fun that we forget we are working!
Email Patrick Early to find out the plan for this session.
If you can’t stay and work, but want to show appreciation in the form of breakfast, snacks, or lunch for the workers, please let Patrick know that too.
Please join us this Sunday (3 June 2012) at 9:00 AM for the All Souls Middle and High School Youth Camp Forbing Challenge Course
The course includes both a high and low ropes course — great for building self-confidence in the individual and community within the group.
All events on the course are “challenge by choice” so youth can choose the level of challenge they wish to pursue in a safe, encouraging environment

On Wednesday (30 May 2012), the Middle School and High School Classes will see Bully at the Robinson Film Center (617 Texas Street). Please meet us between 7:00 and 7:15 PM in the lobby at the Robinson. And please contact Susan Caldwell (318-465-3398) if you need transportation.
On Thursday (31 May 2012) and Thursday (7 June 2012), please join us at The Highland Center (520 Olive Street — Corner of Olive and Highland) at 6:00 PM to work with us for the Highland Blessing Dinner.
If you are volunteering, please be there no later than 5:15 PM.
For those who may not have heard, a partnership of eight congregations is working together to feed people every Thursday evening. All Souls’ first Highland Blessing Dinner on 3 May 2012 was a tremendous success. We will continue to work the dinner on the first Thursday of each month, in partnership with Kings Highway Christian Church.
Additionally, the partner congregations have determined to share the load when there is a fifth Sunday, hence the opportunity to work this Thursday (31 May 2012) in addition to 7 June 2012.

Please join us on Sunday (27 May 2012) at 11:00 AM for our Memorial Day Worship Service. We remember those lost as we honor those who serve.
The All Souls Choir will sing, and — in the Religious Education Wing — the Children and Youth will write letters and cards to troops deployed in Iraq and Afghanistan.
We will also be collecting items to give to Operation Support Our Troops — a local organization that collects and packages a wide variety of useful items to send to our deployed service members. Feel free to check out this Wish List and bring any of the items in question. We will have a box in the Social Hall to collect them.
After the worship service, we will have our congregational business meeting.
Please join us on Saturday (12 May 2012) for our monthly Building and Grounds Work Day.
While some will be working on a project to make the new flume inaccessible to misadventure, there will be other tasks both inside and outside for all ages and abilities.
Come join us in working together on maintaining our church home. It is a great way to get to know people better and bond with your church community!
In accordance with the bylaws of our church and as secretary of the Board, I hereby announce that All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church will hold a Congregational Meeting on Sunday, 27 May 2012, at 12:30 PM in the sanctuary.
Agenda
Though all are welcome to attend, our bylaws stipulate that only members who have been active members for 30 days or longer may vote. We must have a quorum. Childcare will be provided.
Please join us on Sunday, 22 April 2012, at 11:00 AM for “A Web of Roots: A Celebration of Earth Day.”
Rev, Barbara Jarrell is in the pulpit and the All Souls Choir will sing.
We will have a Newcomer Information Session following the service and — of course — everyone will want to stay and vote for their favorite chili in the All Souls Chili Cook-Off.
Next Sunday (22 April 2012) after the 11:00 AM worship service, we will be having our annual chili cook-off competition.
Who will win the Coveted Chili Chalice?
The Chili Cook-Off is a fun event as well as a fundraiser for the church. Voters vote with their dollars and — in that fine old Louisiana tradition — it is not only permissible but expected and condoned to “vote early and vote often.”
