This weekend, we'll be co-hosting the biennial Practicing Resurrection conference with Russet House Farm in Cameron, Ontario. Our theme this year is "Urban Agriculture and the Peace of the City" and the event will feature keynote speakers Ched Myers and Elaine Enns, as well as a great slate of exciting workshop presenters.
It should be a refreshing and inspiring event!
The first annual Huss Future Festival was a great success! Check out the video below, then read Kirstin's overview of the event on the Imagining Space blog (with links to photos and news stories).
Huss Future Festival 2010 will take place on Saturday, July 24 from 8:00 a.m. - 4:00 p.m. Stop by 1008 8th St. in Three Rivers to browse the rummage sale, to enjoy free coffee and live music at the bake sale and to purchase handmade art. Visitors can also learn more about *culture is not optional's future plans for the Huss School property through tours and art exhibits, including the Tripple Ripple Community Gardens. All proceeds from the Future Festival will benefit the renovation of the historic Huss School for an off-campus program for college students and a community center. Bake sale donations, volunteers and art vendors are still being accepted; please contact us for more information about donating.
The *culture is not optional board will be meeting in Three Rivers today to discuss our ongoing publishing and educational work. We'll be talking about our publishing work, the upcoming Practicing Resurrection conference, the Imagining Space project at Huss School in Three Rivers and the necessary fundraising to sustain them all.
Your prayers for wisdom and discernment are very much appreciated. Thank you!
About two weeks ago, we had a group visit from Englewood Christian Church in Indianapolis, Indiana, to help work at the church. Here's a little glimpse of our day together:
Several folks got together last night at the Triple Ripple Community Gardens at Huss School to begin planting vegetables ... and then it rained all day today to water everything!
Last Saturday, Ron and Del Buckhold brought over a tractor to plow the ground for the Triple Ripple Community Gardens. While they technically used a tiller, it seems right to call turning over new ground for gardening "plowing." Check it out below:
