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
For this Sunday (19 October 2025), our children and youth religious education class will continue the theme of “How We Do UU” by exploring “Transformation” by looking at transformation and the caterpillar
Continuing the exploration of our shared Unitarian Universalist values, our children and youth will focus on the real-life story of how a caterpillar transforms into a butterfly.
Like many examples of transformation, it’s a pretty messy process getting to a different life on the other side.
Sleep in a little on this Sunday (19 October 2025) — then rejoin us next week (Sunday, 26 October 2025).
On Sunday (26 October 2025), we will begin our study of Understanding the Bible: A Guide for Skeptics, Seekers, and Religious Liberals by former Unitarian Universalist Association President Rev. John Buerhens.
Books should be available at church by Sunday, 19 October 2025.
If possible, pick up a copy and read the first section entitled “Before We Begin.”
Please join us on Saturday (18 October 2025) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.

For this Sunday (12 October 2025), our children and youth religious education class will continue the theme of “How We Do UU” by exploring “Equity — Mary Safford and The Prophetic Sisterhood.”
Continuing the exploration of our shared Unitarian Universalist values, our children and youth will focus on equity and a story from our Unitarian Universalist history about a group of women ministers at a time when women”weren’t supposed to be ministers.”
These women rode west and either found or founded their own churches — often encountering difficult conditions and stiff opposition to do so.
The class will explore the idea of finding their own prophetic voices.

For this Sunday, we will discuss “Who Are These People?”
After our brief tour of Unitarian Universalist history last week, we challenged the group to look into some of the people who’ve shaped our Unitarian, Universalist, and Unitarian Universalist history.
This week, we will see who captured their interest and learn more about the people who made us who we are.

For this Sunday, the children and youth will help plan their parts of next Sunday’s worship service which will celebrate our shared Unitarian Universalist values and how they inspire us to care for the animals who share our earthly home
