“What’s in a Home? Thoughts on a Trip to Palestine” Worship Service (26 July 2026)

Our first worship service in our new home will be “What’s in a Home?  Thoughts on a Trip to Palestine” by Melissa Gibson.

Our new home after we leave Ellerbe Road will be in The Highland Center (520 Olive Street, Shreveport LA  71104)

All Souls member Melissa Gibson drops in from Omaha, Nebraska to discuss her recent trip to Palestine.

She will explore the idea of what home means — appropriate as we conduct our first service in our temporary home at The Highland Center.

Melissa is a seminarian pursuing a Masters in Divinity degree at Starr King School for the Ministry and is on the staff at First Unitarian Church of Omaha, Nebraska.  Melissa is also an Aspirant within the Unitarian Universalist Association’s Ministerial Fellowship process.

Members of the All Souls choir will sing for this worship service.

Drive around to the back of The Highland Center and enter from the ramp-accessible entrance in the back on Topeka Street, take the second hallway to the right, and our worship will be in the first room on the right.

Online and In-Person Adult Religious Education (28 June 2026)

Please join us on Sunday (28 June 2026) 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.

For this Sunday, we will continue our viewing of “David Brooks:  How America Will Recover from All This” followed by discussion.

David Brooks is a conservative commentator who always considered himself more “center right” — but like many who considered themselves an old school conservative — he has found the ground shifting rightward under his feet.

David Brooks is not a supporter of the current administration to say the least.

Agree, disagree, or perhaps a little bit of both — we think he has some interesting things to say about how we come back from the current state of affairs.
