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
This Sunday’s religious education activity for children and youth during the 11:00 AM worship service will be exploring the inspirations of our faith which include many of the stories, teachings, and practices of various religions of the world.
In the coming weeks, the classes for children and youth will center around some of these stories — always reinforcing our shared Unitarian Universalist values.
Please join us on Sunday (19 January 2025) for our adult religious education class at 9:00 AM.
Our adult religious education class is now a dual-platform class — meeting in person in the church social hall and also on Zoom.
Our dual-platform adult religious education class will begin reading and discussing Love at the Center.
This is an anthology of Unitarian Universalist theological writings by various leaders of our movement seeking to answer the question posed by Rev. Dr. Sofia Betancourt in the book’s introduction:
“We may agree that love is central, but what does that mean to us and what does it require of us?”
This book is currently available only in ebook format pending final edits of the approved revisions to Article II of the UUA Bylaws at the 2024 General Assembly (Kindle, Nook, and Kobo).
For this Sunday, we will continue our reading and discussion with Chapter 18 (“From Longing to Fully LIving” by Rev. Mykal Slack) and Chapter 19 (“Love and Power at the Center” by Rev. Mary Katherine Morn).
If you don’t have this book, you can read the chapters online here.
The New UU class will resume on 19 January 2025 and will be facilitated by Bennett Upton.
We will meet Sundays after the worship service at 12:30 PM.
This 6 session course is for all new members, people interested in becoming members, and not-so-new members who might need a refresher and reminder of what we’re doing here.
The 6 sessions cover the history of Unitarian Univesralism and this congregation also exploring our practices and shared principles and values.
Email Bennett if you are interested in joining this class.

Due to the impact of the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic, we have begun to broadcast a livestream video of our Sunday morning worship services.
This worship video will be available live and in recorded formats.
For our livestream video of our worship services, we are using Facebook Live. One does not have to log into Facebook or have a Facebook account to view this video.
On this Sunday (5 January 2025) as we enter the new year, the children and youth will have a chance to record their wishes, hopes, and dreams for the New Year using spy paper and stir them into a common bowl of water.
They can also use this ritual to release all that they want to leave behind in the old year.
