All Souls will be hosting an Enneagram Relationships Workshop on 14-15 September 2012:
Prerequisite for this workshop is attendance at a Basic Enneagram Workshop or a fairly good grasp of Enneagram theory from reading and self-study along with a pretty good idea of what your Enneagram number might be.

The 2012-2013 Religious Education Year begins this Sunday (19 August 2012). Here’s how you can get involved in shaping the future of Unitarian Universalism.
Please join this Sunday (12 August 2012) for our 11:00 AM worship service. This week’s service is our annual Water Communion Service.
Please bring a small container of water from your summer experiences or travels — whether far away or right in your own backyard. We will briefly share our stories as we come together to join our waters into a common bowl.
Each year, we boil, filter and freeze this water and add it to water from preceding years for use at child dedications and other water rituals throughout the church year.
The theme of water continues after the service with our annual End-of-Summer Swim Party and Potluck at the home of Laurie Lyons and Henry Walker (441 Drexel Drive, Shreveport LA).
Laurie and Henry are once again graciously opening their home to the congregation. Follow the link to a map or pick up a map and directions in the foyer at church. All ages, long-time members and first-time visitors are all welcome.
Bring your swimsuits to church that day, bring a dish to share, and join us at Laurie and Henry’s after the worship service for a different kind of “water communion.” Non-swimmers are also welcome too.
Burgers, hot dogs, and veggie burgers and dogs and the trimmings will be provided by the Religious Education Committee.
The 2012-2013 Religious Education year begins Sunday, 19 August 2012.
Our Religious Education year for children and youth is comprised of five thematic units called “Pillars.” The topics and schedules for these pillars are the following:
The teacher sign-up board will be up in the hallway this Sunday (5 August 2012). Those who sign up early are entered into a drawing for a Barnes and Noble Gift Certificate.
Please join us this Tuesday (31 July 2012) from 6:30 PM to 8:00 PM for Part III of our Unitarian Universalist history series on “American Unitarianism.”
Even if you haven’t seen Parts I and II, join us this Tuesday evening for a look at our Unitarian roots on this continent. Although the films are part of a series, each one also stands well on its own and you are more than welcome to join us. We also plan to repeat the complete series in the not-too-distant future.
For more information, to let her know you are coming to the class, and especially if you need child care, please email Susan Caldwell or call her at 318-465-3427.
Please join us this Sunday (17 June 2012) at 11:00 AM for “Reflections on Father’s Day” with Jonathan Gibson, Steve Caldwell, and Phil Boswell.
Join us to hear from three of our members at three different stages on the joyful and challenging journey of fatherhood.
Renee Boswell (Phil’s daughter) is the worship associate for this service.
In the Religious Education Wing, the Seven Principle Summer continues as the 2nd – 5th Graders learn about the First Principle — celebrating The Inherent Worth and Dignity of Every Person (“Every person is important and valuable”).

Please join us on Sunday (3 June 2012) at 11:00 AM for our worship service.

Please join us this Sunday (3 June 2012) at 9:00 AM for the All Souls Middle and High School Youth Camp Forbing Challenge Course
