The COVID risks for Caddo, Bossier and De Soto Parishes (the Shreveport metro area) are all low as of 16 May 2024 according to the COVIDActNow website (no updates since then on this website). These parishes are also reported as “low” on the CDC’s COVID CountyCheck website.
Additional data can be found on the Louisiana Department of Health’s respiratory virus dashboard web page.
The CDC does not recommend mandatory masking for all indoor events in “low” risk areas.
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 June 2024 give-away-the-plate recipient is Louisiana Trans Advocates.
And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
Please join us next Wednesday (3 July 2024) at 12 noon for our weekly Zoom lunch.
Our weekly Zoom lunch is returning to dual-platform access — join us from home using Zoom or in person in the social hall.
Bring your lunch and meet up with your All Souls friends, have lunch, and just catch up.

Please join us this Sunday (23 June 2024) at 11:00 AM for for an all-ages potluck followed by a 12 noon live viewing of the Sunday morning worship at the 2024 Unitarian Universalist Association’s (UUA) annual General Assembly (GA) meeting happening online.
For this Sunday only, we will be meeting in the social hall for viewing the live video of the worship at this year’s UUA General Assembly during the potluck.
This is an inclusive all-ages event.
Please join us in person at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 9449 Ellerbe Road, Shreveport LA 71106 if you are able to do so.
This year’s GA worship service is “Weaving Our Lives” with Rev. Molly Housh Gordon (Minister — Unitarian Universalist Church of Columbia, Missouri).
Rev. Gordon says of her sermon:
“We are all tangled up together in a great web of life that is woven with beauty and hardship, love and loss, thriving and struggle. How do we tend well to the weaving so that all of us are held in care?”
Rev. Gordon will be joined in worship by numerous ministers and musicians from all over the country.
If you cannot attend in person, the Sunday worship at General Assembly will be livestreamed on YouTube at 12 noon (and it will be available afterwards as a recording if you cannot watch it live — if you wish to fast-forward past the opening announcement slides, move forward to 15:00 minutes):
