Sunday, April 24th, Rice Lake Blue Hills Unitarian Universalists will commemorate Earth Day in a service presented by Dr. Kent Shifferd of Trego, “Standing On The Side Of Love”, beginning at 10 a.m. As UU’s, we believe love is not simply an emotion, but a behavior enhanced by action.
Dr Shifferd will present an account of BHUU’s Social & Environmental Justice Committee efforts in behalf of preserving the sanctity of Wisconsin’s water, countering Enbridge’s proposed Line 5 as a threat to the Bad River Watershed and Lake Superior. In support of Native American treaty rights and the integrity of pure water, Line 5 is seen as a threat to both.
All who seek insight are invited to be with us on Sunday mornings; those who are fully vaccinated are welcome at BHUU. Use of masks is optional, consistent with CDC recommendations. Services are also broadcast on Zoom; the link is sent to all members, although all who may be interested are invited to contact patriciashifferd@gmail.com for the link needed. There will be time for fellowship and coffee after the service at the church, located at 230 W. Messenger St. in Rice Lake.
