19 January 2020 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth

Please join us on Sunday (19 January 2020) at 11:00 AM for “The Power of One” by Carolyn Jones.

Please join us on this Martin Luther King Sunday to welcome one of Shreveport’s own civil rights trailblazers.

From her childhood as the first African-American child to integrate Creswell Elementary to her current life as a businesswoman, musician, tireless community volunteer and activist, hers has been and is a remarkable life.

Ms. Jones will tell her story and (along with her nephew guitarist Maurice White III) will share music with us as well.  Together, they make up the duo Acoustic Standard.

And in celebration of the holiday, please take the time to revisit this moment in Unitarian Universalist history, when the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. gave the Ware Lecture at UUA General Assembly 1966.

Religious education classes for children and youth are offered during the 11:00 AM service.  Children and youth attend the first 15-20 minutes of the service and then are dismissed to class.

Please join us on Sunday (22 December 2019) at 11:00 AM for “Don’t Let the Lights Go Out” with the children, youth, and adults of All Souls.

Our winter holiday celebrations were born of a need to remember in the darkest times of winter that the Light will return.  It is in telling the stories and hearing their messages that call to us even now that we become the bringers of the light to a dark and hurting world.

24 November 2019 All-Ages Worship Service and Thanksgiving Feast

Please join us on Sunday (24 November 2019) at 11:00 AM for our annual Thanksgiving ritual and feast with Rev. Barbara Jarrell.

This is a holiday with a tortured history that needs recognition and reckoning.  At the same time, we need time and space to recognize those people, events, and everyday gifts in our lives that cause us to feel gratitude.  It is another part of the great paradox in which we live our lives.  Join us as we celebrate this gratitude and sit down to a meal together.

We begin with a shorter service in the sanctuary and end with a procession to the social hall for a ritual of gratitude and our potluck feast.

If you are unable to prepare or pick up anything, please come anyway.  There will be plenty.  And we need people to help with set-up and clean-up which is just as good as bringing food.
