We Receive our Green Sanctuary Certifcation!

On June 24, 2007, at the General Assembly in Portland, Oregon, our
Fellowship received our official Green Sanctuary Certification from the
Unitarian Universalist Ministry for Earth! We were one of 9 other
Fellowships from around the country to receive this honor, presented to us
during the final Plenary Session on the last day of the General Assembly!

Many thanks to all our hard-working volunteers who made this happen!

This is only the beginning.... we will keep striving to promote
environmental awareness, sustainable practices, and environmental justice
into our church community, our personal lives, and our wider communities.

In fact, our next "green" event will be a showing of "Green: the New Red,
White and Blue" video by Thomas Friedman on August 19, 2007 at 3:30 p.m.

We'll keep on working as a Green anctuary, with our new Certificate proudly
hanging in the sanctuary!
