All Souls to Offer The Songs of Advent Tuesdays During Advent
 As familiar as we are with the songs of Christmas, there are four songs recorded in the Bible to celebrate the birth of Jesus that most of us aren't familiar with: The angels sang a song to the shepherds; Mary sang a song to God; Simeon also had a song; and then there is the Song of Zechariah.
 Please join us at All Souls Church at 5500 St. Claude Avenue as we delve into one of these songs each of the four weeks of Advent, on Tuesdays at 6:30pm.
A simple meal will be shared. You may call The Rev'd Edward Thompson (504-218-8995) for details.
