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
On Saturday (10 August 2013) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM, we will have our monthly building and grounds work day.
In the heat of August, this is a mostly an inside work day. We will wash windows (inside and out), polish and wax the pulpit, altar table, pew ends and backs.
We will also clean out, purge and organize our Religious Education classrooms in preparation for the new church year. Lots of tasks for all ages and abilities, so many hands will make much lighter work!
Please join us on Saturday (13 July 2013) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly Building and Grounds Work Day.
If you are new to the church, you may not realize that with only a few exceptions, all care and maintenance of the church building and grounds is done by volunteers … by us. We have tasks for all ages and abilities, indoors and out. Come spend an hour or two or the whole work day (you’ll still be done by 1:00 PM) and get to know more of your All Souls friends as you work together side by side.
Operation Playground Awesome will be continuing debris clearing efforts this Saturday in preparation for playground renovations.
General Assembly (GA) is the annual meeting of our Unitarian Universalist Association (UUA). Attendees worship, witness, learn, connect, and make policy for the Association through democratic process. This year’s GA is happening in Louisville KY. Online news and updates from GA can be found here:
This month’s Building and Grounds Work Day is now Saturday (15 June 2013) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM. This change is for the month of June 2013 only.
Our monthly Building and Grounds Work Day is normally scheduled for the second Saturday of each month. There is a memorial service this afternoon for Cameron Varnell — and out of respect for Cameron’s family — we are moving the date of our work day for the month of June 2013.
Please join us at 11:00 AM for “Seeds of Hunger” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
Please stay after the worship service for our Spring Congregational Meeting.
From: Virginia Villarreal, All Souls Board Secretary

Congregational Meeting
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 the Agenda:
(1) Election of New Board Officers

Please make every effort to attend.
All active members should attend this meeting or give their proxies to those who can. Inactive members and friends of the church are invited and encouraged to participate, but bylaws stipulate that only those members who have been active 30 days or longer may vote. We must have a quorum. Childcare will be provided.
Please join us on Saturday (13 April 2013) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly Building and Grounds Work Day.
Projects inside and outside — we work rain or shine. All ages and abilities are welcome — for a little time or a lot.
Please join us on Sunday (17 March 2013) at 11:00 AM for “Our Nature to Create” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell. The All Souls Choir will be singing in this service.
If you’re a fan of traditional Irish music, please come early at 10:15 AM to hear Bob Jordan playing in the Social Hall prior to this service.
A Special Congregational Meeting and St. Patrick’s Day Potluck will follow this service in the Social Hall.
Our Special Congregational Meeting will be in the Social Hall in conjunction with a St. Patrick’s Day potluck immediately after the 17 March 2013 worship service.
Bring a dish to share (something green or Irish would be great but this is not required).
Stay for the meeting and fellowship. If you haven’t read the Buildings and Grounds Erosion Engineering Report before the meeting, you may want to do so. You can find the report on the All Souls website here (requires Adobe Acrobat or other PDF reader software).
