“None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody – a parent, a teacher, an Ivy League crony or a few nuns – bent down and helped us pick up our boots.” Thurgood Marshall
This Sunday, March 28th, we again visit our March theme of “Rebirth and Renewal,” with a focus on education. Charmae Sanders, our guest speaker, will talk about her work with the Lake Michigan College “Start to Finish Program” which helps foster kids have successful educational outcomes. Additionally, Martin Hutchinson, will share an original reading, Katharine Lion has chosen another great Story for All Ages, Les Rorick and Kristina McCloskey will perform a musical number, Jim and Lisa Fuller will officiate our Fabric of Life Ceremony, Felipe, Paula, and Mikey McConnell-Perez will do our Chalice work, and the BUUF musicians have some more great music for us.
