UUSF to Host Peace Walkers – Please Join Us!

posted on March 10, 2016

The New England Peace Pagoda (www.newenglandpeacepagoda.org), an initiative of the Nipponzan Myohoji Buddhist Order, has embarked on in its 15th annual Walk for a New Spring, and is walking for peace through Fairhaven on their way to Washington, DC. The 8-week Walk began on March 4, 20l6 at the Peace Pagoda in Leverett, Massachusetts. The call of this walk is for “Shared Security – to End War,” an effort to nurture the belief that we can truly end war and start to shift the direction of our national thinking and policies in a different direction.

UUSF will be hosting the walkers on Friday, March 25 with a potluck dinner from 6:00-7:00 PM in the Harrop Center, followed by a discussion from 7:00-8:00 in the same location. Members of the congregation have generously volunteered to provide sleeping arrangements for the 8-12 walkers. We will also provide breakfast before the walkers depart at 8:30 AM Saturday morning.

Information on the Walk for a New Spring is available today in the Parish House during Hospitality Hour. If you are interested in bringing a contribution to the potluck, please see Larry DeSalvatore or Rev. Bob after Sunday service. Sponsored by the UUSF Social Justice Committee.
