All-Ages Worship (30 October 2022)

Please join us this Sunday (30 October 2022) at 11:00 AM for “Answer in the Form of a Question” featuring special guest Michael Servetus.

It’s the format for one of the world’s most popular game shows and it’s also the way that we Unitarian Universalists often look at the Big Questions before us — with even more questions.

At this turning of the year — closest to Samhain, All Hallows Eve, and All Souls Day — it is appropriate to turn our thoughts to those who came before us . . . our own ancestors and also the ancestors of our faith (“prophetic people whose words and deeds challenge us to confront powers and structures of evil with justice, compassion, and the transforming power of love”).

One of them will even join us from the 16th century to tell us his story.

All ages will be with us for this interactive multigenerational service.

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.

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.

Our October 2022 give-away-the-plate recipient is the League of Women Voters of Caddo/Bossier.

Online Adult Religious Education — Slave State Documentary Screening (2 October 2022)

Please join our adult religious education class on Sunday (2 October 2022) at 9:00 AM for a screening of the documentary film Slave State followed by a Q and A session with Slave State author Curtis Davis.  Our adult class will be meeting via Zoom.

This is a documentary film inspired by the book Slave State:  Evidence of Apartheid in America by Curtis Ray Davis II.

All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church is honored to host a screening of this documentary film.  This is an encore screening for those who could not attend our live audience screening last Saturday.

This is Policy Films first film of this length — produced in collaboration with the non-profit organization Decarcerate Louisiana.

The documentary highlights the grassroots movement by Decarcerate Louisiana to sponsor Louisiana legislation to remove slavery from the state constitution with the help of State Rep. Edmond Jordan of District 29.

Come and learn how slavery still exists in Louisiana along with the importance of voting yes on Amendment 7 on 8 November 2022 to abolish slavery in our state.

Here is the trailer for this film:
