North Louisiana Interfaith

Cold out there again today, but at least we dodged the full-on freeze. If the weather turns rough and the power or water goes out, remember the Highland Center is a Community Lighthouse. That means solar panels, backup batteries, backup water, and volunteer teams ready to help us all stay safe. Many thanks to our North LA Interfaith and Caddo Parish partners for making this possible.

Plus-- even when the Community Lighthouse isn't "activated," guests are welcome to stay warm and find help navigating resources during regular business hours in our library.

Taste of Interfaith, last Sunday, was a powerful time where 156 leaders from 40 different institutions gathered with public officials for what Co-chair Rabbi David Laor taught us was known as Tikun Olam or repairing the world.
He stated, "Tikun Olam is not ONLY a ritual or a prayer—it is expressed in ACTIONS, and how we treat others, how we build communities, and how we respond to injustice. It calls us not to passively ask why suffering exists, but to actively correct injustice and bring healing."

14 new institutions were part of an impactful ceremony to pledge to be part of working TOGETHER to build the strong communities we have dreamt of. It's time that our dreams become the reality we are blessed to live each day.

Let's get to work! https://www.nlainterfaith.org/2026

On Tuesday, May 28th Congressman, Cleo Fields, paid a visit to the Highland Center to meet with leaders and tour the facility. Not only was he able to view the completed Community Lighthouse for the Highland neighborhood, he is also interested in expanding Community Lighthouse throughout his district in Shreveport, Alexandria, and Baton Rouge!
It’s time to build strong communities together!

Both sides of the sign are pictured below. We have them at All Souls Unitarian Universalist Church, 9449 Ellerbe Road in Shreveport. Someone will be at the church till at least 6 p.m., and can arrange to stay a little later OR leave your signs outside the office door. We can also arrange pickup for Saturday afternoon or Sunday before or after service. (Between 10 and 10:30 a.m. or after noon)
