Minister's Column,
Summer 2008:
"From My Window"
by Rev. Charlie Ortman
I was recently CC’d on an email sent by Judith
Rew, of our congregation, regarding a project that
our Religious Education folks have been working
on. I knew of the project, but did not know of the
participation of one of our congregation’s children.
It is with great appreciation and admiration that I
pass this piece on to the rest of you for your summer
reading:
Dear Teresa Stovall, I am a member of the Unitarian
Universalist Congregation at Montclair and I
wanted to bring to your attention a recent event: On
June 24th we organized a tile-decorating activity
and ice cream social for several classes of the Newton
Street School in Newark, NJ. Our efforts were
intended partly to help promote a project headed
up by Mr. Eric Freedman, President of Congregation
Ahavis Shalom in Newark, who has been instrumental in raising $185,000 to help build a playground
at Newton St. School. There currently is no
playground for this K-8th grade population.
I thought you might especially be interested in this
event because one of our UU children and Montclair
resident, second grader Desiree Kurtti, presented
a check for $1,600 that she had raised entirely
on her own; Desiree, on her own initiative,
collected sponsorships for every book she read during
the last three months. --Judith Rew
…And they shall be led by the little children…
How does the world change, for the better? When
we decide that it can be better! I’ll see you at the“U.” Please pray for peace and act for justice,
Charlie Ortman |
