Beyond Galilee Screening — 17 September 2017

Please join us on Sunday (17 September 2017) at 6:00 PM for a screening of the documentary Beyond Galilee.

In August of 1958, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was invited to Shreveport, Louisiana to deliver a speech at the Galilee Baptist Church as part of a voter registration workshop.  Beyond Galilee explores how the Civil Rights movement evolved in Shreveport in the years that followed — highlighting the key events of the movement in Shreveport through the testimonies of the actual participants supplemented by news footage, rare audio, home movies and photos from the era.  Beyond Galilee chronicles a vital part of Shreveport’s history and provides much needed insight and perspective into the city’s role in the national Civil Rights movement (summary from IMDb page for this documentary).

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).
