Online Religious Education for Children (23 August 2020)

Please join us for our online religious education for children and youth this Sunday (23 August 2020) — we will start this online Zoom classroom at 1:00 PM after the virtual coffee hour is over.

The Zoom link  for this group will be found on the All Souls Religious Education Facebook Group.

We begin our season of focus on Unitarian Universalist Identity with Love Surrounds Us (a Tapestry of Faith curriculum that explores all of our Unitarian Universalist principles in the context of beloved community).

We can still use your art work illustrating our principles and sources.

You can post it on the All Souls Religious Education page on Facebook or send it to Susan at dre@allsoulsshreveport.org.

We can use more illustrations of the third and fourth principles and — of course — the eighth principle too:

  • How people act when they support each other and learn together
  • How people act when they are free to search for truth in their own lives?
  • How people act when they are working to dismantle racism and create beloved community?

Join us using the religious education Zoom link about 5 minutes after the worship service.

If you aren’t on Facebook, send Susan Caldwell an email or text her at 318-465-3427 to get into Zoom for online religious education class.

Online Adult Religious Education — 23 August 2020

Please join us on Sunday (23 August 2020) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class via Zoom.

We will continue the next series of Faith Forward — UU Theology.

UU Theology is a six-session series exploring various theological concepts through a Unitarian Universalist lens.

Each session addresses the question “What does our Unitarian Universalist tradition teach about this concept, and how does that help me clarify and act on my own beliefs?”

For this week (Session 2 – “What Are God and Spirit?”), we will explore the range of beliefs about God and Spirit that are encompassed within Unitarian Universalism.

Online Religious Education for Children and Youth (16 August 2020)

Please join us for our online religious education for children and youth this Sunday (16 August 2020) — we will start this online Zoom classroom at 1:00 PM after the virtual coffee hour is over.

The Zoom link  for this group will be found on the All Souls Religious Education Facebook Group.

We had originally planned for a socially-distanced tie-dye event for this Sunday.
However, we’re going to postpone that for now:
  • Along with the recent surge throughout our state, we keep learning more about this virus and the wider age spectrum of people who are getting sick from this virus.
  • With schools reopening and our families in various stages of preparation — in-person or virtual — we don’t feel responsible bringing people together for additional in-person gatherings that — however fun — are not essential.
  • When the weather gets cooler, we’ll figure out some multi-generational outdoor activities that require less handing of things from person to person and allow for better physical distancing.
  • If your family was looking forward to tie-dye, email Susan and she will get a tie-dye kit to your house with a few colors of dye, some soda ash, and all the instructions.  Otherwise, we promise we’ll get together and tie-dye as soon as it’s safer.

We can still use your art work illustrating our principles and sources.

You can post it on the All Souls Religious Education page on Facebook or send it to Susan at dre@allsoulsshreveport.org.

We can use more illustrations of the third and fourth principles and — of course — the eighth principle too:

  • How people act when they support each other and learn together
  • How people act when they are free to search for truth in their own lives?
  • How people act when they are working to dismantle racism and create beloved community?
