"Cut
Your Waste Grant County”
Allyson & Jeff respond to the end of curbside
recycling in Silver City. Gila Resources Information Project and The
Lotus Center teamed up and created this public education initiative
that provides citizens with suggestions for reducing their waste, thus
pre-empting the need for recycling, and saving expensive space in our
local landfill. Join them and learn more about the waste reduction
campaign and ways you can get involved. www.CutYourWaste.org or

"Jewish High Holy Days"
This
active participatory service will recognize the two high holidays known
as Rosh Hashanah & Yom Kippur. The eve of Rosh Hashanah occurs
on Sept 29 & Yom Kippur falls on October 8. The 10 days between
are known as a time of charity, prayer & repentance during
which people are encouraged to right those they have wronged &
to forgive those who have wronged them. In the traditional liturgy, the
Angel of Life opens the Book of Life on Rosh Hashanah inviting the
faithful to reflect on their destinies. At the end of the 10 days, the
Angel inscribes their fate in the following year into the Book. To
emphasize charity, all are invited to bring canned/non-perishable goods
for the food donation basket. Childcare
