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
This Sunday’s religious education activity for children and youth during the 11:00 AM worship service will be exploring Unitarian Universalist principles and values in the stories from our Jewish and Christian Heritage.
The stories from the Jewish and Christian scriptures contain important lessons and values that our children and youth can learn without the baggage associated with these stories.
For this week — Moses and the Ten Commandments.
Please join us on Sunday (17 November 2024) 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 our discussion with Chapter 6 (“Hospice and Hors D’oevres” by Rev. Nathan Detering) and Chapter 7 (“Digging Graves” by Rev. Sam Teitel).
Please join us on Saturday (16 November 2024) at 10:30 AM for our weekly meditation group with Larry Androes.
This group will be meeting via Zoom and not in person.
This is a sitting Buddhist meditation including a brief introduction to mindfulness meditation, 20 minutes of sitting, and followed by a weekly teaching.
The group is free and open to all.
