Building and Grounds Work Day (13 October 2018)

Please join us on Saturday (13 October 2018) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly building and grounds work day.

Most of the work of maintaining our spiritual home is done by the members and friends of All Souls.

We have tasks for all ages and abilities — indoors and out.

One of the best ways to build community with your All Souls friends is to work side by side sprucing up our church home.

Come for the whole time or just for a little while — or if you can’t stay, consider dropping off some snacks for the crew.

We appreciate any and all efforts to help — hope to see you Saturday!

Gale Gucker Honored for 50 Years of Membership

During our September 2017 Homecoming Service (when we honored our 25-year members) we made a horrendous mistake and forgot to honor Gale Gucker (our 50-year member).

We plan to correct that oversight at our 11:00 AM Sunday service on 29 October 2017.

Gale has served the church in numerous positions over the years — President of the Board, Chair of the Building Committee for our current location in the beautiful woods of South Shreveport, and in many other roles.

She has also served in leadership roles with the former Southwest District of the Unitarian Universalist Association.

Please join us to honor Gale and to hear her speak about the early years of our congregation.
