Please join us on Sunday (25 May 2025) at 11:00 AM for “Social Justice as a Spiritual Practice ( . . . and Spiritual Practice as a Way to Keep Doing Social Justice)” by Susan Caldwell (All Souls Director of Lifespan Religious Education).
For many years, Unitarian Universalists have often struggled with the question of our identity as a faith tradition. Are we all about spiritual growth or social justice?
Ultimately, we have to come back to the only answer for both choices — Yes.
The work of justice is sacred work and the work itself can feed our spirits, but this work is for the long haul. We need to be looking out for each other, to provide shelter, food, rest, or pep talks as needed — and we each need a source of spiritual sustenance to keep us grounded for what is ours to do.
We will be meeting in the sanctuary for this worship service. Please join us in person at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 9449 Ellerbe Road, Shreveport LA 71106 if you are able to do so.
Our service will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live here if you cannot attend in person.
State-level COVID data can be found on the Louisiana Department of Health’s respiratory virus dashboard web page. The most sensitive metric to follow for current COVID trends is the “Laboratory Surveillance Data” link. The link is currently showing COVID and flu rates with a slight uptick as of 17 May 2025 while RSV is maintaining a very low level in our state.
Starting on 13 November 2022, masks will be optional indoors at All Souls.
Anyone who prefers to keep wearing a mask is welcome to do so and attending worship through livestream video is also an option.
We will still have KN95 masks available in the foyer for anyone who needs one.
We continue to recommend that you stay home if you have any symptoms, and that you keep up with all available vaccinations and boosters.
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.
If you are recovering from COVID and have no symptoms, you should mask in public until you have tested negative twice in a 48 hour period.
We also ask that you go by the previous CDC guidelines of waiting at least 5 days past the onset of symptoms rather than the current 24 hour recommendation.
And of course — if you have symptoms (COVID or other respiratory illness) — please stay home and take care of yourself.
Our May 2025 give-away-the-plate recipient is Shreveport Green.
And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
