8 October 2017 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth
Please join us on Sunday (8 October 2017) at 11:00 AM for “Not an Occasional Act” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
This service in the sanctuary concludes with a ceremony outdoors for releasing regret and all that no longer serves us.
We will have a newcomer session following the service for all interested persons. At this session, you are invited to watch a video, ask questions, and learn more about our faith as we learn more about you (as you are comfortable sharing with us).
Adult Religious Education — 8 October 2017
Please join us on Sunday (8 October 2017) at 9:15 AM for our adult religious education class. Following on the heels of reading of Waking Up White by Debby Irving, we will watch A Class Divided.
This is a 1985 documentary on the reunion of an all-white third grade class that learned a valuable lesson about racism with the widely known and praised experiment pitting the “Blue eyes” against the “Brown eyes.”
The first class where teacher Jane Elliott performed the experiment was in 1968, right after the assassination of Martin Luther King. This film was made with her class in 1970.

1 October 2017 All-Ages Worship Service — Blessing of the Animals
Please join us on Sunday (1 October 2017) at 11:00 AM for “Keeping Faith with Animals” — our annual “Blessing of the Animals” worship service.
Please join us for this service where we celebrate our shared home in the interdependent web with our furry, finned, four-legged, flying, crawling, hopping or slithering friends.
You are invited to bring your pets into the sanctuary to share this service with us.
Please do confine your pets on a leash or in a carrier as the most seemingly docile animals can react differently in strange surroundings.
If your pet will do better staying home and being blessed from afar, feel free to bring a stuffed animal or photograph (beloved stuffed animals absolutely count in their own right).
The service also includes a memorial portion in which we call the names of pets loved and lost.

This Sunday, we take up the remaining chapters — Chapter 44 (“Listening”), Chapter 45 (“Normalizing Race Talk”), Chapter 46 (“Whole Again”), and the last chapter (“Tell Me What to Do!”).
24 September 2017 Worship Service and Religious Education for Children and Youth
Please join us on Sunday (24 September 2017) at 11:00 AM for “Keeping It Alive” by Rev. Barbara Jarrell.
We are continuing our season in celebration of Unitarian Universalist history, tradition, heritage, and — most importantly — the changing face of our Living Tradition that seeks to honor the past as we live in the present and work to shape a better future for all.
Our “Give Away the Plate” this Sunday will benefit the Queensborough Progressive Citizens who are working to improve the overall quality of life in the Queensborough neighborhood of Shreveport.
They are raising funds for the Huntington High School Robotics Team.
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.
