July 10-22, 2008 Pilgrimage

Join with Unitarian Universalists from across North America as we become pilgrim travelers. This trip is for families and others who would enjoy a cross-cultural camp experience and the gift of serving others. Adults will enjoy seminars and historical outings while children and youth participate in a folk camp, learning stories, songs, and traditional crafts.

Project Harvest Hope Pilgrimages are designed with an intentional spiritual discipline. This is not a tour but a time of personal spiritual growth and reflection, as well as a journey into the heart of our history. 

Project Harvest Hope is accepting applications for the Unitarian Family Camp and History Pilgrimage which will be held July 10-22, 2008.

Save Your Scraps!

Our compost bins still need kitchen scraps, so please save your vegetable peelings, coffee grounds, and other non-meat scraps and bring them to feed our worms over the winter.  Just collect your scraps in a plastic container, keep them in your refrigerator, and bring them with you to church on Sunday.   Don’t let those nutrients go to waste!
