"Paris to Pittsburgh" Film - Sunday, October 20, 11:30am
The Social Justice Committee brings us the film "Paris to Pittsburgh," an important look at the current climate of Climate Change. Meeting in the Chapel.

Narrated by Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actress and activist Rachel Brosnahan, Paris to Pittsburgh brings to life the impassioned efforts of individuals who are battling the most severe threats of climate change in their own backyards. Set against the national debate over the United States's energy future -- and the Trump administration's decision to exist the Paris Climate Agreement -- the film captures what's at stake for communities around the country, and the inspiring ways Americans are responding.

You are invited from bring a brown bag lunch to enjoy along with popcorn, drinks, and dessert that will be provided for all attendees. Bring some friends and enjoy the film.

Days for Girls Workday - Friday, October 25: 9:00am-2:00pm
This is a Friday and a Ubuntu project of the Mtn Sky Conference UMW meeting.  Hours are 9 to 2 and all are invited & welcome to participate as always. Please plan to check in at the registration desk by the west door when you arrive.

Days for Girls is a non-profit organization that helps girls stay in school and retain dignity, giving back important days of their lives. Most girls in developing countries miss school during their periods; many eventually dropping out. Days for Girls aims to do something about that by empowering girls, women, and communities through providing access to sustainable feminine hygiene, as well as menstrual health management training. Various organizations help the cause by making high-quality, washable, reusable feminine hygiene kits. 

Volunteers from Christ UMC have been assisting the cause by making cloth drawstring bags for the kits since 2017. This is an assembly line construction method, with jobs for sewers and non-sewers. New volunteers are always welcome! For questions about this mission opportunity, contact Sue Nissen through the church office at christumc.secretary@gmail.com.

Note: Whether you've registered or not, please let Sue Nissen know if you will be there, and let her know by Sunday, October 20 if you want to purchase lunch ($10).
