A Marriage Equality Resolution was adopted at our May 17, 2009, Congregational Meeting by a unanimous vote of 200.
We will give away free tree seedlings at the church from at 10:30am and from 12:30 p.m. to 3 p.m. Sunday, March 28, 2010. The trees were a donation from The Arbor Day Foundation and include live oak, red oak, red maple and bald cypress, all trees native to Louisiana and hardy trees that withstand hurricanes. The Arbor Day Foundation and LSU AgCenter booklets on how to plant and grow these trees will be offered for free as well.
Seedlings vary from several inches to two feet long with roots. Now is the best time to plant trees so their roots will establish before the heat sets in.
The tree distribution is a project of the Resurrection Project, a collaborative effort that includes UCBR through the work of the Rev. Marilee Baccich and Chere Coen.
The 2008 tree giveaway project was a direct offshoot of the Hurricane Recovery and Social Justice Project of UCBR. Last year, 1500 tree seedings were distributed. This year, the Arbor Day Foundation has generously given us 25,000 seedlings! All a way to replant Louisiana.
