\"\"<\/a>Please join us this Sunday (7 June 2026) at 11:00 AM for “Honoring Our History, Sharing Our Legacy” with Gale Gucker and Russell Pease.<\/p>\n

Join us this Sunday as we continue our observance of our 76th anniversary year.<\/p>\n

On 17 April 1950, All Souls Unitarian Church of Shreveport, Louisiana affiliated with the American Unitarian Association<\/a> (one of the predecessor denominations that formed the Unitarian Universalist Association<\/a> in 1961)<\/p>\n

Although a small group of faithful Souls had begun meeting informally in homes or in the restaurant of the Captain Shreve Hotel as early as 1948, the 17 April 1950 date is what we celebrate officially as our anniversary.<\/p>\n

We are honored and happy to welcome two longtime active members — Gale Gucker and Russ Pease — to tell us some of the stories that have formed us as a congregation.<\/p>\n

Our service will also be livestreamed on Facebook Live here if you cannot attend in person<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We are moving our videos from Facebook to YouTube for long-term storage and viewing — you can find our worship videos on YouTube here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

State-level COVID data can be found on the Louisiana Department of Health’s respiratory virus dashboard web page.\u00a0 The most sensitive metric to follow for current COVID trends is the “Laboratory Surveillance Data” link<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Flu, RSV, and COVID are all showing low numbers in Louisiana as of 30 May 2026.<\/p>\n

Masking and COVID vaccination are optional for attending in-person events at All Souls.<\/p>\n

We encourage you to be vaccinated against COVID and to also have the most-current COVID booster shots.\u00a0 This provides greater protection to the individual and the church community.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

We will still have KN95 masks available in the foyer for anyone who needs one.<\/p>\n

We continue to recommend that you stay home if you have any symptoms and that you keep up with all available vaccinations and boosters.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

If you have symptoms for COVID or other respiratory illness, please stay home and take care of yourself.<\/p>\n

Our June 2026 give-away-the-plate recipient is North Louisiana Interfaith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And you can contribute to All Souls using this online resource<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
