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
Please join us on Saturday (10 May 2014) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
We’ll be putting the Social Hall back together now that the painting is done, and there will be many other tasks, inside and out.
Stay the whole time, come work for an hour or so, or just drop by with some snacks for the crew! Working side by side is a great way to build community with your All Souls friends and your friends-to-be.
Come help us put the second coat of paint on the Social Hall this Saturday (3 May 2014) from 9:00 AM to 12:00 PM Noon and 1:00 PM until we finish.
Considering we finished early last week (and the second coat should go more smoothly) enough hands should make light, quick, and fun work!
The Bizarre Bazaar — an arts and crafts fair — will be happening at All Souls:
The 31st annual Shreveport – Bossier City Holocaust Memorial Service will be happening on Sunday (27 April 2014) at 4:00 PM at the Christian Center of Shreveport (207 Idema Street, Shreveport LA).

On this Saturday (26 April 2014) and again on next Saturday (3 May 2014), we will be painting the Social Hall from 9:00 AM -12:00 PM and 1:00 PM – 4:00 PM.
Hanging out with your All Souls friends, getting to know them better as you make the church look better, just might fun. Come all day, both days, or just an hour or two — whatever you can manage. See you there.
