Green Sanctuary News

Green Sanctuary: At long last, our professional energy assessment is done! That means we can get a Green Team together and develop our plans to become a certified green sanctuary. I'll shortly post a link to the report here so you can download it!

Share the Plare, Jan and Feb: Ruth is on her trip to Haiti to teach at the School for Midwives in Hinche, up in the mountains. Our church contributed over $1,000 to buy medicine and medical supplies for safer births, healthier babies, along with a minor portion of Ruth’s expenses. And Ruth’s stock of medical supplies is packed with knitted baby blankets, hats, and bibs from our Love Knit & Crochet group. Ruth will report on her trip in April at a 10:00 Sunday meeting. We're looking ofrward to many pictures & stories! The UUSC (UU Service Committee) has a Haiti trip program, now just for medical teams, although in the future they plan to make work projects available for nonmedical teams, too.

Share the Plare, Mar: We contributed $165 for Upstate Pride and $100 for the UUA Uganda- LGBT fund. You’ll see our Standing On The Side of Love banners at the 3rd Annual Upstate Pride SC Festival, June 4th, along with UU advertising and our beverage booth.

Political Action Opportunity: Sunday, Apr 3rd, Sloane Wheelan of Planned Parenthood, SC., will be at church with sample letters for us to sign & send to state and national legistors.
