UUCW member Almuth Soffee enjoys the benefits of TWO rain barrels at her house.
|
|
Earth Ministry Tip
One simple, efficient, low-cost method to reduce the amount of storm water runoff from your property is to use rain barrels. They capture water from a roof and hold it for later use in pots and gardens.
Rain doesn't contain the minerals found in wells or the chlorine in municipal supplies, and its warmer temperature is ideal for watering plants. Rain barrels are easy to install, and available from many sources.

"Existential Angst: Facing One’s Demons
in an Uncertain World"
|
|
|
|
Pulpit Guest:
Philip Chard
Worship Coordinator:
Kathy White
Fear can be the most potent and debilitating human emotion. One challenging variant of fear is “existential angst,” which is primarily a spiritual malady rather than a psychological one. We will examine the experience of existential angst, how it takes the soul hostage, and what we can do to overcome it.
