Soup and Service

Each year for the past 12 years (except during Covid) the Munising Ecumenical Team has offered a “Soup and Service” event on the first five Wednesdays of Lent and Good Friday and Easter Vigil services during Holy week. All were open to the entire community. Each year one or two community service organizations are selected to receive the free will offerings from those events. This year The Community Food Pantry and Eden on the Bay Free store were selected recipients of the offerings. $1094.00 was raised in spite of two of the “Soup and Service” events being canceled due to uncooperative weather. The offering was shared equally. We are thankful for the community churches who cooperated in providing the suppers and services as well as the generosity of those who attended.

Do you Remember the Day?

For those of you who are old enough, think back to Wednesday April 22, 1970. Do you remember the day? I was in ninth grade at Pennridge Central Junior High School located in Bucks County, PA, where George Washington crossed the Delaware River during the American Revolutionary War. My school joined in with the other 20 million+ participants to celebrate the first Earth Day. In preparation for Earth Day, we learned about our Earth and the pollution it was facing at that time. Homeroom doors were decorated, and skits acted out by the students. On Earth Day, the whole school took part in a demonstration of support, with students coming together to line up to spell Earth Day. The school had two floors and we were able to look down, out of the windows, at the students outside and see Earth Day spelled out plain as day.

Charity’s Dilemma: A Story of Good Deeds and Unexpected Twists

A big, burly man visited the pastor’s home and asked to see the minister’s wife, a woman well known for her charitable impulses. “Madam,”he said in a broken voice, “I wish to draw your attention to the terrible plight of a poor family in this district. The father is dead, the mother is too ill to work, and the nine children are starving. They are about to be turned into the cold, empty streets unless someone pays their rent, which amounts to $400.” “How terrible!” exclaimed the preacher’s wife. “May I ask who you are?” The sympathetic visitor applied his handkerchief to his eyes. “I’m the landlord,” he sobbed Colossians 2:8 See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.

Earth Fest features Mather Elementary Students & Artwork

Mather Elementary 3rd grade Native American Education students will be participating in Earth Fest 2024, hosted by the partnership between Alger County Renewable Energy Solutions, Munising School Public Library, and the Gallery Coffee Co. with sponsorship from the Michigan Environmental Council. Native American Education teacher, Carol Horne, rose to the challenge of having an Earth Day themed lesson that would result in something to display at the library. The class read “We are the Water Protectors” by Carole Lindstrom. From there, the students created pictures that will be displayed at the library during Earth Fest Week, April 22-27. Mrs. Horne added, “The 3rd grade students are enthusiastic about showing what natural resource they want to protect and why”. The public is invited to view the artwork and other exhibits throughout the week during library hours. For more information contact the Munising School Public Library at (906)387-2125.
