The Art Committee of First Unitarian is planning our eleventh annual Member’s Art Exhibit for September. This exhibit will be for art works done by our Members and Friends of the Church. We anticipate showing 1-2 works from each person and about 12 artists. Please call or write Linda Kauffman, 412-241-1528, LK01@andrew.cmu.edu to indicate your interest or if you need more information.
You will need to bring your work to the Garden Lobby, Saturday August 31 (NOTE change of date) between 10:00 a.m. and 12:00 p.m. – we will hang the show immediately. All work must be labeled and “ready to hang/display” – that is, a wire on the back that can accommodate our hanging system. Get to work on something new, or look for that treasure in your collection! It should be another great show! The Membership Team extends an exuberant welcome to five new First Church members:
Sarah and Trevett Hooper and their children, who have been attending church for about a year; Robert Eshbaugh, who has been a friend of the church and of the Sunday Morning Forum for sometime; and brand new members Jayne and Chris Gall. Jayne did attend this church as a child. Thanks to all of you for choosing First Church as your spiritual home. UUPLAN News
Physicians ask Gov. Wolf for Moratorium on Fracking Following a panel discussion on June 19th, members of Better Path Coalition, the Philadelphia Chapter of Physicians for Social Responsibility and other health professionals provided Governor Wolf with a copy of the new "Fracking Compendium." (Link: www.psr.org/blog/resource/compendium-of-scientific-medical-and-media-findings-demonstrating-risks-and-harms-of-fracking/) They also presented a letter requesting a pause in authorizing unconventional well permits and an investigation to determine whether or not fracking in areas of southwestern Pennsylvania is the cause of a cluster of rare childhood cancers and fatalities. Later, the Unitarian Church of Harrisburg hosted the same presentation, which was open to the public. UUPLAN's Environmental Justice Team Co-Chair Rachel Mark created a PHOTO DIARY (Link: www.uuplan.org/wp-content/uploads/2019/07/BPC-Panel-6-19-2019.pdf) containing her own pictures and tweets from the events.
