Please join us on Sunday (2 March 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 continue with chapter 28 (“Love Is God” by Rev. Abhi Janamanchi) and chapter 29 (“Beloved” by Rev. Victoria Safford).
If you don’t have this book, you can read the chapters online here.

Please join us on Saturday (1 March 2025) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.

Please join us on Sunday (9 March 2025) at 3:00 PM for the One Book, Many Communities in the Social Hall at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church.
This is a a Common Read event sponsored by Librarians and Archivists with Palestine and Unitarian Universalists for Justice in the Middle East (Shreveport Chapter).
The book for the 2025 One Book, Many Communities event is They Called Me a Lioness: A Palestinian Girl’s Fight for Freedom by Ahed Tamini and Dena Takruri.
Ahed Tamimi became known worldwide when a video clip of her slapping an Israeli soldier went viral — but her struggle against apartheid and occupation began long before that day — and the historical struggle had gone on longer still.
Kirkus Reviews has called Tamini’s book, “A passionately argued, profoundly empathetic, and deeply informed examination of her country’s occupation.”
Copies of the book will be available at All Souls. The cost is $12.00 or whatever you can pay if you can pay.
Please don’t let money be an obstacle to your reading the book and participating in the discussion.
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.
