Sunday, April 17th, 11 am, Earth Day Service!

Our 6th annual outdoor Earth Day Service will be held this Sunday, April 17, at *11 am* in Audubon Park, under the enfolding arms of the Tree of Life/Great-Grandmother Oak. We will gather with our sisters and brothers from the other two Greater New Orleans UU congregations, Community Church and North Shore, as well as volunteers and guests from other UU churches around the country, for an inspirational service on "Sacred Waters." There will be speakers from all three churches, a combined choir, and special musical guests the Youth Choir of our partner church the Unitarian Church of Arlington, VA. Special activities for children will part of the event.

A Potluck Picnic will follow the service. So wear sunscreen and sun hats, and bring chairs and blankets. Pack some food to share (GNOUU will provide the drinks), and be ready for a great day to celebrate the Earth and Sacred waters!

Directions:
From the east: Take Tchoupitoulas towards Audubon Park; it deadends in the Park. Turn right (the only way you can turn.) Watch for the Big Tree on your left after the giraffes, before you reach the Labyrinth and the stables. Parking along East Drive. (If you get to Magazine St., you've gone too far -- park and walk back.)

From the west: Take Magazine St. to the zoo entrance, turn right and head to the Riverview Park ("the Fly"). Drive all the way around, over the railroad tracks twice, til you arrive at the junction with Tchoupitoulas. Follow directions above.

We need help bringing folding tables from First Church earlier on Sunday, help with setting up, and help bringing things back to church when the event is over. Please call Diana Gray if you can be of any assistance -- 773-972-9451 cell or 504-267-7380 home (leave message if she's not home).
