Posted on May 6, 2012 | 0 comments

Tuesday May 15th

5:30 – 8:00PM

(Dinner at 5:30 – Program starts at 6:00) at HUUC



As advocates for reproductive rights and healthcare, it is important to be able to effectively articulate our beliefs. Anti-choice groups have done an excellent job of using language and messaging to persuade the public, and now it is time to fight back! This workshop will discuss the history of the women's movement in terms of legislative attacks and scare tactics.

Art Display

Hanging the southwest wall of the sanctuary is "7 Principles: One Artist's Abstract Interpretation of the 7 Unitarian Universalist Principles" by Cat Johnson.  

Johnson was inspired to create this piece because friends and family from UU congregations in Muskegon, Cincinnati, and Seattle have mentioned they wish they has visual representation of the UU Prinicples in their buildings.  

This is the first public display of the artwork as a temporary loan from the artist. You can read more about the art and the artist in a small frame on the lower right side of the artwork.  

Please enjoy the artwork and allow for your own interpretations!

April is Earth Day month so we will be viewing Gasland. 

 

Wednesday , April 18

6:30pm

1296 Montgomery

Muskegon, MI 49441 



From the website:

"The largest domestic natural gas drilling boom in history has swept across the United States. The Halliburton-developed drilling technology of "fracking" or hydraulic fracturing has unlocked a "Saudia Arabia of natural gas" just beneath us. But is fracking safe? When filmmaker Josh Fox is asked to lease his land for drilling, he embarks on a cross-country odyssey uncovering a trail of secrets, lies and contamination. A recently drilled nearby Pennsylvania town reports that residents are able to light their drinking water on fire. This is just one of the many absurd and astonishing revelations of a new country called GASLAND. Part verite travelogue, part expose, part mystery, part bluegrass banjo meltdown, part showdown."

GIRL SCOUT PROJECT – MATS FOR HAITI
 
Rhian Williams' girl scout troop is collecting plastic grocery bags to make mats to send to Haiti for folks in tent camps there. Help is also needed to crochet the mats, so if you are a crochet enthusiast and would like to help, please let her know. It takes 70 bags to make 1 mat, so bring your bags to church if you'd like to share. (It's better to store them flat for this project rather than ball them up…) They'll be collected throughout March.
