Unitarian Universalist Fellowship Series on Ethical Eating Continues

by Susan McBain

The second in the Orcas Island UUF series of services about ethical eating will take place at this Sunday’s service at Benson Hall (Episcopal Church) beginning at 11:30 a.m. Our presenter will be Madie Murray on the topic “Farm to Cafeteria: Feeding our Kids for a Healthy Future.” The series will conclude on Nov. 10 with a presentation by Zenitha Amani on the “Orcas Island Food Co-op.”

This year’s overall them at OIUUF is Community Well-Being. Understanding and acting on issues of social justice is an integral part of the UU Seven Principles, which are:

• The inherent worth and dignity of every person;
• Justice, equity, and compassion in human relations;
• Acceptance of one another and encouragement to spiritual growth in our congregations;
• A free and responsible search for truth and meaning;
• The right of conscience and the use of the democratic process within our congregations and in society at large;
• The goal of world community with peace, liberty, and justice for all; and
• Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part.

The Orcas Island UUF meets the second and fourth Sundays at 11:30 am at Benson Hall. All are welcome. Childcare is available if you let us know ahead of time. Learn more at our website, or contact Suzanne Olson via email.
