~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is an exciting, hands-on interdisciplinary educational program designed to demonstrate the inter-dependency of all plants and animals.  The MCFC staff will guide students on a fascinating exploration of our environment, starting at the base of the food web with the plankton and culminating with humans. Through hands-on interconnected stations –including plankton study, live exhibits aquarium, water chemistry, watershed model, creative dramatics, and music, the young mind will be brought to a deeper understanding of our need for clean, clear water.  The dependence of one species on another, the effect of human industry on our environment, and the role each of us plays in shaping the present and future through choices we make are the themes of our program.

This Traveling Environmental Festival is a great educational tool for children of all ages.  While the target audience are grades 2 through 6, the curriculum has been tailored to accommodate older and younger audiences.

Traveling Environmental Festival–The Stations:

Introduction: Welcome to our water-dependent world! Clean, clear water is a precious commodity. The student is introduced to the food web and the dangers that threaten it.

Meet, Greet & Share Session
May 5, 2013
12:30-2:30

On May 5, 2013, the Board of Trustees will hold the first interactive “Meet, Greet, and Share” session.  The purpose of this gathering is to increase the opportunity for members and friends to keep abreast of the current operations and events of UBTS and to have an opportunity to share ideas with the Board.  Each session will have a topic for discussion.    The first topic for discussion will be “The Ideal Spiritual Community”. 

To prepare for the session the Board is asking you to reflect and respond to the following:

1.      What is your concept of an “ideal” spiritual community? What are the qualities of a thriving spiritual community? What is experienced here?

2.      What aspects and experiences that you listed above for your “ideal” spiritual community already exist at UBTS?

3.      On a scale of 1-5 with 5 representing your ideal community where does UBTS fall?

4.      What is one thing I could do to help move that scaled score 1 pt higher?

5.      What is one thing the leadership could do to move the scaled score 1 point higher?

6.      What is one thing ministry participants could do to move the scale score 1 point higher?

When completing question number one, try to focus on qualities and experiences rather than primarily focusing on the size and the structure of the building. 

If you can’t make the session, we would still like to receive your input.  You may email your responses to unitybytheshore@aol.com , give them to a Board member, or drop them off in a box that will be placed in the fellowship area of UBTS. 

Mark Your Calendars: Future Meet, Greet & Share sessions will be held on 7 /28/13, & 10/27/13.  

Please plan on attending.  The Board is eager to spend time with you, and we are open and receptive to all of the Divine Ideas that will be shared!

Blessings,

The Board of Trustees
