THANK YOU to the numerous “green UUs” (and wannabes) who came to the candlelight “Vigil for Our Common Home” on January 22, to demonstrate the care and concern we have for our earth. Attendees heard inspiring speakers, stirring music (from “our own” John Coppess), and learned of positive actions to protect our environmental legacy, such as:
Thanks, too, for the donation of used candles from the church "stash" from our candlelight services (good "recycling"!). Though a poor match for the gusty evening winds, they were nonetheless held as symbols of our dedication.
