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
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!
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.
Please join us on Saturday (8 March 2014) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Tasks for all ages and abilities, inside and out. Come all day or just for a little while.
Do what you can, and get to know your All Souls friends better working side by side. Bringing snacks for the crew is most welcome too.
If you are a regular with our congregation, you have seen John and Tamila actively supporting our church.
John is always there engaging members — new and old alike — in meaningful conversation. Tamila balances work and parenting along with her service to All Souls. John and Tamila constitute the team that mentors the middle and high school youth.
For their weekly work with our youth and more, we award them jointly the title of February 2014 Volunteers of the Month.
Please join us on Saturday (8 February 2014) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM — there will be tasks both indoors and outdoors for all ages and abilities. And snacks for the work crew will be there to show our appreciation.
Building and Grounds Work Day — Saturday, 11 January 2014, 9:00 AM – 1:00 PM
