SAVE THE DATE: Even if we stopped using fossil fuels today, emissions from our food system would still cause the earth to exceed targets. This lively presentation will discuss the under-appreciated impact our food system has on climate and the environment. Learn actions you can take at your very next meal to start changing things for the better. Presented by Anna Larsson and Nicola Philpott. Please join us in person in the sanctuary after the service or on Zoom here.

UUCM Is partnering with Beacon for a screening of the 5-part documentary season Shame of Chicago, Shame of the Nation. It examines systematic housing segregation in Chicago and its suburbs throughout the 20th century. The series illustrates how these policies not only shaped Chicago but also served as a model for other American cities. The first episode is coming up January 9 from 6–8 p.m. at Vista 44: Supportive Housing. UUCM will be hosting the final episode Jim Crow of the North on February 4 from 6–8 p.m. Please click here to see the full schedule for the series. Contact Sue Fust with questions. 

Empty milk jugs, potting soil, native seed “winter wishes,” and other supplies will be provided. Apps & snacks provided. Once winter sowing kits have been completed they will be placed in the UUCM backyard. Plants will be transplanted into UUCMs landscape in the spring/summer. Contact Genevieve Vavreck or Jan Sease for details.
