On Sunday (30 September 2012) immediately following the 11:00 AM worship service, the Exploratory Committee will present the first in a series of town hall meetings.
This committee appointed by the All Souls Board to explore the options for the geographical future of our congregation will host the first of a series of informational Town Hall Meetings to report on its findings so far.
Please join us for our Building and Grounds Work Day on Saturday (8 September 2012) from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
As always, there are plenty of tasks — inside and out. and tomorrow there is also the promise of free food (courtesy of Interfaith who gave us all their Podnuh’s leftovers from Friday’s meeting: chicken, beef, potato salad and beans).
Come help spruce up the church and stick around for lunch with your All Souls friends.
Come join us this Saturday (11 August 2012) and every 2nd Saturday of the month from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM for our monthly Building and Grounds Work Day.
Tasks for all ages and abilities, inside and out. Spend a little time or a lot. Can’t stay and work this week? Snacks or drinks dropped off for the workers are always much appreciated, too!
Many of our members and friends will attest that they have made some of their best connections at the church in conversations that happen while working side by side.
On Saturday (14 July 2012), we will have a Building and Grounds Work Day from 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM.
Join us to paint the Pre-K/K-1 room (Room 1), which also serves as our bridal dressing room and the weekly home of our Saturday meditation group (who will be moving for one day only).
Bring gloves, and your willingness to join with your All Souls friends in building community while we beautify our space! If painting is not for you, there are always other tasks to be found, and snacks for the crew are also much appreciated.
How can Shreveport attract the “creative class” of knowledge-based workers?
Come find out on Wednesday (20 June 2012) at 5:30 PM at CoHabitat (610 Commerce Street, Shreveport, Louisiana).
A panel of experts will discuss how Shreveport can become more economically competitive in a global economy.
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.
The All Souls Board has appointed a 10-member committee to explore all options for the geographical future of our congregation.
On the heels of the recent erosion repair and the capital campaign that financed it, we have some time now to begin a thoughtful conversation on the issues of staying in our current location and preserving and adapting it to suit our mission or moving to another space that may serve us more effectively.
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!
