1 September 2019 Worship Service and Summer Fun for Children and Youth
Please join us on Sunday (1 September 2019) at 11:00 AM for “Someone Else’s Truth” by Rev Barbara Jarrell.
“When galaxies collide, there are all sorts of consequences. And still, truth is bigger than all of that.”
You are going to want to know where this is going.
Our summer fun for children and youth will focus on the theme of “Love is the Doctrine of this Church.”
The children and youth will talk together about what that means and then work together on a collaborative art project that supports that theme.
And it’s also Green Bag Sunday for Noel United Methodist Food Pantry ! Bring your bag (any color bag!) this Sunday with one or more of the following items:
- Jiffy Cornbread Mix (8.5 oz.)
- Green Beans (15-16 oz. can)
- Mac and Cheese (7.25 oz. box)
Place them in the hatch of the green Kia Soul that will be parked up by the front breezeway and JoDel Adkins will make sure they get to the food pantry this week.

Whether you paint, draw, sculpt, make jewelry, or however you create beauty, come and share that with our members and friends.

11 August 2019 Worship Service and Summer Fun for Children and Youth
Please join us on Sunday (11 August 2019) at 11:00 AM for “Starving Darkness” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
In these times when the darkness seems particularly pervasive and daunting, how do we continue to be the light, for ourselves and for others?
Our summer fun activity for children and youth on this Sunday is making Ojos de Dios (Eyes of God) with Sam First and making Friendship Bracelets with Maggie Molisee.
4 August 2019 Worship Service and Summer Fun for Children and Youth
Please join us on Sunday (4 August 2019) at 11:00 AM for our Water Communion Service with Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
We welcome Rev. Barbara back this Sunday for our annual Water Communion Service.
This is a time when we bring water — whether real or symbolic — from our experiences of the summer (from far away across oceans or from a puddle in your own backyard).
We pour the water into a common vessel as we briefly share our stories. No one drinks this water. Instead, we boil, filter, and freeze it and add it to water from previous years of this service. The water is used for child dedications and other special rituals of the church.
We’ll have the water ceremony while the children and youth are in with us and then sing them out to their summer fun activity — preparing a salad bar lunch for the church in celebration of Lughnasadh (the beginning of the harvest season in the Druid tradition) with help from Kevin Henry and friends.
This is Green Bag Sunday for Noel UMC Food Pantry. This month, they need canned green beans (15 oz.) and packaged side dishes such as mac and cheese, Rice-a-Roni or Zatarain’s side dishes.

We are delighted to welcome counselor and All Souls member Claudia Harris back to our pulpit as she explores the interplay between apology, forgiveness, and reconciliation.
This is Give Away the Plate Sunday, and our recipient this month is the 2019 North Louisiana Gay and Lesbian Film Festival sponsored by PACE. All Souls is proud to be a co-sponsor of the festival and this Sunday’s non-pledge collection will go toward our sponsorship.
Our summer fun activity for this Sunday is making and racing little cars with Amanda Lawrence.

Please join us on Sunday (21 July 2019) at 11:00 AM for “There is Love More Powerful than Differences or Fears in its Claim on Our Hearts” by Judy Cantil and Bishop Shaun Cooper.
While religions may differ in their metaphysical views, religious and secular views converge in the realm of compassion and ethics.
Join Judy and her friend Bishop Shaun for this joyful service full of music and life in celebration of bridging differences in these polarizing times.
Our summer fun activity for this Sunday is water balloon painting with Leigh Anne and Joshua Chambers.
