4 November 2012 Worship Service

Please join us on Sunday (4 November 2012) at 11:00 AM for “Caught in an Inescapable Web of Mutuality:  Hostage or Healer — What Is the Zip Code of Beloved Community?”  Claudia Harris is in the pulpit this morning.  Come hear an inspiring message on the heels of a wildly successful Annual Gala.  The All Souls Choir will sing.

Don’t forget that this is the Sunday we fall back — so you can set your clocks back an hour (a lot of them will do it for you now, but check to be sure yours is one of those).   Get that precious extra hour of sleep and still make it to church.

Join us next Sunday (11 November 2012) as Phil and Sarah Boswell and Friends present a Veteran’s Day service — “Welcoming Home the Soldier Within.”  The service will include a tribute to veterans, as well as veteran Pamela Raintree’s tribute to the Transgender Day of Remembrance (which will be observed in Shreveport on 14 November 2012).
