Stone Soup Service and Luncheon - November 29, 2015

11/27/2015

0 Comments

 
It has been our tradition to end our holiday feasting with a reading of a version of the fable, Stone Soup, and to share a soup luncheon on the Sunday that follows Thanksgiving Day. You are invited to join us for this service, a light meal, and fellowship! There are many versions of the Stone Soup fable, "which have been traced back to France, Sweden, England, Belgium, and other countries." Last year, we re-lived the story with three Buddhist monks and the story was set in China. This year our service leader, Mari Kuhnle, has chosen a version of the story written by Aubrey Davis and illustrated by Dusan Petricic, entitled Bone Button Borscht. It is the story of a beggar, who enlists the help of the shamas (caretaker) of a synagogue to bring a "miracle" to the town. This will be an Inter-generational service.
​
If you are going to be in town on the 29th, you are invited to participate by bringing an item for the luncheon. Please contact Mari Kuhnle at 236-5628 for ideas of what you might bring OR you may bring Thanksgiving Day left-overs, if you wish to do that!

For the Harvest Season:  Sustainable Farming and UU Values - Daniel Doyle, Speaker - November 8, 2015

Where do UU values and things 'sustainable' intersect?  More specifically for this Sunday's focus, why is sustainable agriculture something Unitarian Universalists would naturally support?  Daniel Doyle, of the Mississippi Sustainable Agriculture Network (MSAN), will be with with us to explore the possibilities.  MSAN is the primary organization in the state of Mississippi concerned with sustainable farming and local food systems. Its mission is to make sustainable farming and local food production thriving enterprises in Mississippi.  Jeffery Peavy, our service leader for the morning, works with MSAN as a member of  AmeriCorps VISTA. 
Many members and friends of UUCO support 'things sustainable' and food from local sources, so expect a lively morning!
