I look forward to seeing pictures of your peace and justice message stones, hear your stories of where you left them, and who you hope will get your messages.
And if you still haven’t painted your message stones, no worries — we will also be having a Seven Principles Scavenger Hunt in your house.
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:
Join us using the religious education Zoom link about 5 minutes after the worship service.

Summer is here and art kits really are headed your way on Saturday afternoon (20 June 2020) — this week’s summer project is Peace and Justice Stones.
You’ll get some paint suitable for outdoors (non-toxic but not washable so wear clothes that can be stained by paint), some brushes, and some black river rocks.
The art boxes also contain some markers and colored glue for later projects.
The idea is to paint messages of Hope, Love, Peace, and Justice on the rocks and leave them in places where others can find them. Then take a picture of your rocks in the spots where you’ve left them, and we’ll share those on our Sunday Zoom worship service.
If you haven’t had a chance yet to paint them, we can work on them together and share on the religious education Facebook group in the coming week or on next Sunday.
Please join us on Sunday (21 June 2020) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class via Zoom.
We will be continuing Faith Forward: Spiritual Practice with “Session 8 — Discernment and Devotional Reading (Lectio Divina).” Continue reading “Online Adult Religious Education — 21 June 2020”

We are back this week to explore the 8th principle that has been proposed as an addition to the existing UU principles:
We, the member congregations of the Unitarian Universalist Association, covenant to affirm and promote: journeying toward spiritual wholeness by working to build a diverse multicultural Beloved Community by our actions that accountably dismantle racism and other oppressions in ourselves and our institutions.
It’s a lot of words but we’ll take the time to take those words apart and find out what they really mean.
Please join us on Sunday (14 June 2020) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class via Zoom.
We will be continuing Faith Forward: Spiritual Practice with “Session 7 — Worship and Ritual.”
We’ll look at how we approach our weekly worship as a spiritual practice and how that might change in our current virtual setting.
We’ll also examine the role of ritual in our communal and individual lives.
