18 November 2012 Thanksgiving Worship Service and Feast
Please join us this Sunday (18 November 2012) at 11:00 AM for “A Service of Thanksgiving” — our annual Thanksgiving Service and Feast.
We begin with a brief service in the Sanctuary that continues with a Ritual of Thanksgiving in the Social Hall, followed immediately by an abundant feast, to which you are invited and encouraged to contribute as you are able.
If you are willing and able, please bring a dish to share. If you want specific information on what is still needed, you may email or call Sarah Boswell of the Food, Folks and Fun Committee (see below).
Otherwise, bring a pan of dressing (or, dare i say, even “stuffing” – I guarantee we’ll eat it no matter what we call it!), a vegetarian entree, your favorite vegetable side, a dessert or bread, an appetizer or a fruit or vegetable tray. Bring anything that you feel is an indispensable part of a Thanksgiving meal, whether it’s a classic tradition or just a tradition in your family.
For information on how you can help with the feast, please email Sarah Boswell or call her at (318) 865-8831.
And if you can’t bring food, don’t let that stop you from coming — Join the Cleanup Crew:
If you often don’t or can’t hang around for cleanup, perhaps you can make a plan to do that this week out of gratitude to those who do it so often. One thing we’ve learned from working the Highland Dinners is that many hands really do make light work, and a big cleanup crew = a fast cleanup for all!

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).
