17 September 2017 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (17 September 2017) at 11:00 AM for “Home in a Community of Seekers” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.  This is our annual homecoming service.

Whether you have been a longtime member, a member who hasn’t attended in awhile, a former member or a friend; we want you to come home and to feel at home in this covenanted community where love will always call us back.

We will be recognizing new members and honoring those members who have reached the 25 year mark.  Please come and join us in celebrating them.

We will have a potluck lunch immediately following the service.  Please bring a dish to share and join us for the celebration. If you can help with setup or cleanup, please call or text Amanda Lawrence at 318-402-3314.

Religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service.  Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.

3 September 2017 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (3 September 2017) at 11:00 AM for “A Place Within a Dynamic Faith” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

This Sunday begins the season of our church year when our focus turns to Unitarian Universalist identity — the principles and sources of our faith, the values we hold dear in our covenanted community, and the people who created and walked the path before us.

Today also begins the religious education year for our children and youth — religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service.

Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.

27 August 2017 Water Communion Worship Service and End-of-Summer Swim Party

Please join us on Sunday (27 August 2017) at 11:00 AM for “What Sort of Body of Water is This?” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

This is our annual celebration of coming back together in community. We are all encouraged to bring a small container of water — whether brought from an ocean far away or from your own kitchen sink — to add to the common bowl as we share our stories of summer.

This need not be a travelogue — some of the greatest journeys happen in our own backyards or simply in our own hearts.

Immediately after this worship service, please join us for our end-of-summer swim party and picnic at the home of Kathy Osuch and Mike Roberts (149 Atlantic Avenue, Shreveport LA).

13 August 2017 Worship Service and Summer Fun for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (13 August 2017) at 11:00 AM for “Understanding” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

This Sunday’s Summer Fun activity is seed bombs with Cindy Mandarino.  Seed bombs are a creative way to toss a little beauty into places in need of it that might not get regular beautification and care.

2 July 2017 Worship Service and Summer Fun for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (2 July 2017) at 11:00 AM for “But What Kind of Change?” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

Working for change requires us to consider the benefit and impact of that change and for whom.  We welcome Barbara back to the pulpit this morning and the All Souls Choir shall sing.

We will also have new members signing the book along with an installation of our new board officers (and grateful farewell to those whose terms are drawing to a close).

A newcomer information session will follow this service.

This week’s summer fun is Yoga with Robin Drury.

Please join us on Sunday (7 May 2017) at 11:00 AM for “A Thing of Beauty” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

A newcomer information session will take place after the service.
