SUMMARY:Seed Distribution
DESCRIPTION:As you may have heard\, our iconic Monarch butterflies are in trouble. These seemingly fragile creatures have the longest known migration of any insect\, wintering in Mexico and then migrating north across North America\, some flying as far as 3\,000 miles! But these beautiful and intrepid insects are now being decimated by a combination of loss of habitat\, pesticide use\, and climate change. Their Eastern population has decreased by 84%\, and they have been listed as endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. \nThe sole food for Monarch caterpillars is the milkweed plant. Once plentiful along roadsides and farms\, the widespread use of herbicides like Roundup has eradicated much of this critical Monarch habitat. \nThe good news: An easy way we can make a difference for Monarchs is to plant milkweed seeds. Planted in the fall and very easy to grow\, all they need is a sunny spot in your yard. The Environmental Team of the Justice Committee will be distributing\, with the assistance of ELPC youth\, packets of common milkweed seeds (Asclepias syriaca) on Sunday\, October 1\, after our Journey and Sanctuary worship services. We invite you to join us this autumn in a simple act of hope and caring. \nContact Mary Barr with questions.

SUMMARY:Dinner and a Film
DESCRIPTION:On Friday\, October 27\, 5:30–8 pm\, the Spiritual Life and Justice Committees invite you to an evening of fellowship\, food\, and formation around the ancient practice of Sabbath. \nWe will gather for a simple meal together and then view the documentary\, SABBATH: An Ancient Practice Meets the Modern World. This collection of short stories explores the history of one of the world’s most important spiritual practices and its timeless relevance for a stressed-out\, modern world. From the Biblical accounts of Creation\, to the 10 Commandments\, to the Puritans landing in the New World\, to the contemporary practice of a “tech-sabbath\,” SABBATH ties together our collective history\, our health practices\, our response to God’s invitation\, and the search for a more sustainable way of life. \nRSVP to Norma Meyer at 412.441.3800 x211 by Sunday\, October 22\, and include any food allergies. \nWatch the trailer

SUMMARY:Fall Youth Retreat at Lamppost Farms
DESCRIPTION:Our Confirmation Class will be participating in a fall retreat at Lamppost Farms in Columbiana\, Ohio\, Saturday–Sunday\, November 11–12. And any youth in grades 7–12 who would like to hear and explore some of Jesus’ stories about birds\, and farmers\, and growing grapes are welcome to attend. \nNamed after the lamppost in the The Chronicles of Narnia\, Lamppost Farm exists to provide meaningful learning opportunities by engaging in purposeful and productive work\, contagious relationships\, and the celebration of “good ordinary food.” Their goal is to use agriculture and its fruit to build individuals and groups in deeper relationship with themselves\, one another\, God\, and God’s creation. Whether raising and processing chickens; growing\, making and canning salsa; milking the cow; or turning clay into a pizza oven; experiences at Lamppost Farm enable guests the chance to see with their eyes\, hear with their ears\, explore with their hands\, and understand with their hearts. \nLearn more at LamppostFarm.com.

SUMMARY:Fighting From the Inside Out: Ending the Death Penalty
DESCRIPTION:A free event with author Todd C. Peppers and Martha Conley that reflects on the groundbreaking work of Marie Deans and Russ Ford. Ms. Deans\, founder of Murder Victims’ Families for Reconciliation\, was forced into the world of capital punishment through personal tragedy. “My mother-in-law’s killing was the crucial element\, the key that motivated me to get into this work… I don’t want to see anyone ignored or thrown away by society\, whether they’re the victims or the murderers.” she said. \nReverend Ford served as the head chaplain of Virginia’s death row for eighteen years. He stood watch with twenty-eight men\, sitting with them in the filthy death house during the final days and hours of their lives. Ford himself almost became an unintended victim of the death chamber in July 1990 as he comforted Ricky Boggs in his last moments. \nDeans and Ford have forced us to recognize the humanity in those that we condemn to death. \nTodd C. Peppers is the co-author of A Courageous Fool: Marie Deans and Her Struggle Against the Death Penalty (2017) and Crossing the River Styx: The Memoir of a Death Row Chaplain\, (2023). Martha Conley will be interviewing Mr. Peppers. \nRegister
