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
There will be no separate activity for children and youth for this Sunday (22 June 2025).
They will remain with their adults to enjoy brunch and watch the Sunday worship service at this year’s Unitarian Universalist General Assembly in Baltimore, MD.
In addition to the food and video presentation, the children and youth will also have some drawing and craft materials if they desire to create things during this brunch / worship event.
There will be no 9:00 AM adult religious education class on this Sunday (22 June 2025).
Sleep in a little later and join us for an 10:00 AM potluck brunch and group viewing of the live streaming video worship from the Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly in Baltimore MD.
And join us when our adult religious education class returns on 29 June 2025 when we will be asking, “What makes you laugh?”
Whether it’s your favorite comedian, a cartoon, a meme, or even a story told to you by a friend, we all need a break from the horror of these times.
We need to laugh even if we’re laughing to keep from crying.
Please join us on Saturday (21 June 2025) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.
This group will be meeting via Zoom and not in person.
This is a sitting Buddhist meditation including a brief introduction to mindfulness meditation, 20 minutes of sitting, and followed by a weekly teaching.
For this Sunday, the children and youth will have an opportunity to create geodes from sugar, foil, paint, and glue.
Clothing choices should probably be something that can get a little messy (at least temporarily and washed later).
There will be no 9:00 AM adult religious education class on this Sunday (15 June 2025) and next Sunday (22 June 2025).
Sleep in a little later and join us this Sunday (15 June 2025) for the 11:00 AM Service (“The hidden Wisdom of Dad Jokes” with Bennett Upton).
Sleep in a little later and join us next Sunday (22 June 2025) for an 10:00 AM potluck brunch and group viewing of the live streaming video worship from the Unitarian Universalist Association General Assembly in Baltimore MD.

Our topic will be Naomi Klein on the rise of end times fascism facilitated by Susan Caldwell and Barbara Deger
We will view and discuss an interview with award-winning journalist, author, and Professor of Climate Justice at British Columbia University.
She spoke with Democracy Now host Amy Goodman about the recent article she co-authored with Astra Taylor (“The Rise of End Times Fascism“).
Naomi Klein and Astra Taylor say:
We are convinced that the more people understand the extent to which the right has succumbed to the Armageddon complex, the more they will be willing to fight back, realizing that absolutely everything is now on the line.
Our traditional kickoff to the summer and one of our favorite summer fun activities for children and youth is happening on 8 June 2025 during the worship service.
Tie-Dye Sunday is back!
Parents — be sure that your kids are wearing clothes that won’t get hurt during the tie-dye activities — the dyes are permanent!
We will have oversized t-shirts children can wear as smocks if needed, but it’s better to send them in something that can stand a little extra color on this Sunday.
Also, we usually have plenty of dye and grownups attending the service are welcome to join us afterward to create their own wearable work of art.
