8 March 2026 Worship Video
All Ages Worship (8 March 2026)
Please join us this Sunday (8 March 2026) at 11:00 AM for “ERAS-HER: A Look at One of Christianity’s Hidden Heroines for Women’s History Month” by Jennifer Russell.
In honor of International Women’s Day, we will learn the story of a woman that the early Christian Church tried to erase.
Don’t forget that we “spring forward” this Sunday. Although many clocks we use now reset automatically — if you still have any that need to be reset, don’t forget to set them forward one hour.
Our service will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live here if you cannot attend in person.
We are moving our videos from Facebook to YouTube for long-term storage and viewing — you can find our worship videos on YouTube here.
State-level COVID data can be found on the Louisiana Department of Health’s respiratory virus dashboard web page. The most sensitive metric to follow for current COVID trends is the “Laboratory Surveillance Data” link.
Flu have shown a significant increase followed by a decline followed by a secondary increase but may be starting to decrease in our state as of 28 February 2026.
RSV appears to be resuming its decline as well.
COVID is maintaining low but persistent numbers.
Masking and COVID vaccination are optional for attending in-person events at All Souls.
We encourage you to be vaccinated against COVID and to also have the most-current COVID booster shots. This provides greater protection to the individual and the church community.
Anyone who prefers wearing a mask is welcome to do so for in-person events and attending worship through livestream video is also an option where required for medical or schedule conflict reasons.
We will still have KN95 masks available in the foyer for anyone who needs one.
We continue to recommend that you stay home if you have any symptoms and that you keep up with all available vaccinations and boosters.
If you are recovering from COVID and have no symptoms, you should mask in public until you have tested negative twice in a 48 hour period.
We also ask that you go by the previous CDC guidelines of waiting at least 5 days past the onset of symptoms rather than the current 24 hour recommendation.
If you have symptoms for COVID or other respiratory illness, please stay home and take care of yourself.
Our March 2026 give-away-the-plate recipient is the YWCA of Northwest Louisiana.
And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource.
