Orchard Ridge United Church of Christ

In June we learned about exciting stirrings in Habitat for Humanity of Dane County from our CWS representative at those meetings. Among other projects, Habitat plans to rehab a 4-plex on Russett Road. This could be a near-by project for us to participate in, so we will keep apprised of how it evolves.

We discussed a website that is having millions of hits; it is thestoryofstuff.com. It is an excellent 21-minute overview of how the materials economy impacts our planet. Although it is not framed in a religious context, we wonder whether it might be useful in a church program.

Excitement builds as the opening of the Farmers’ Market in our parking lot approaches. It starts Wednesday, June 24, and will be open from 3 – 7 p.m. Here’s the sort of shopping CWS can encourage!
