Just a reminder that Saturday Sept.12 is the Interfaith Mission Services Volunteer Day and one of the environmental projects is clearing trails at Hayes Nature Perserve. Please register and get all information at http://www.interfaithmissionservice.org/unity2009.html
The Day is designed for those who want to improve our community through opportunities to connect through service. There are projects for all ages and abilities - some are local agencies, others global - all can be completed in just a few hours. As we work we do that most human thing- we talk, we dialogue, we recognize one another as people who care about this world we share. The physical work will be completed that day but the experience of working with others who have differences but believe that together we can create a better world will be long-lasting.
Citizens will arrive between 7:30 and 8:00, gathering for breakfast and fellowship. From 8:00 to 8:30 there will be a unity celebration, creative dialogue, and a time of matching of people with diverse teams that will then leave to work at their site locations. The day will end at each site mid-day. The score of service sites located across Madison County with a variety of great projects will allow people to connect and serve working through diverse teams “side by side” with other members of your community.
