Although the number of new COVID cases and hospitalizations has increased in the Shreveport metro area, we are still safe to have to in-person worship at this time.
We no longer require proof of vaccination against COVID for all attendees ages 11 and up for indoor events.
However, we do strongly encourage that anyone attending our worship services or other indoor events at All Souls be vaccinated against COVID.
We are also required the wearing of masks for all in-person attendees for all indoor events.
Religious education classes for children and youth resumes this Sunday as well. The children and youth will be with us for the first 15-20 minutes of the worship service before we sing them out to their classes.
Our August 2022 give-away-the-plate recipient is Basic Necessities.

Recent news events have seen repetition of the mistaken notion that the United States is “a Christian nation.”
