Free Special Movie Screening Thursday Night!
Dear friends,
There is a movie focused on Darfur called "Darfur Now" that will be screening as a pre-release movie. (www.participate.net and www.myspace.com/darfurnow)
I received a packet of invitations to the screening at Phipps Plaza theater Thursday, at 7:30pm. Each ticket admits 2 people. The movie is produced by Warner Independent and is rated PG.
They suggest you get there early because they naturally send out more tickets than they have seats, so come early so you can get in.
I have about 25-30 2 person tickets, so please mention this to as many folks as you can.
I can't go because I have a CBF/GA interfaith task force meeting at 7:00 that night in Alpharetta. I'll leave these tickets in the church office for anyone to come by and pick up today, tomorrow, or Thursday.
Blessings,
Matt

10/25, sure would be good to have a rep there
Again, sorry but I am committed and cannot attend this important learning program. Wish someone could/would.
Georgia Interfaith Power & Light invites you to participate in our Energy Star Training Program for Congregations on October 25!
Join us for a training session with representatives from the Environmental Protection Agency’s Energy Star for Congregations Program to learn how to measure and reduce your congregation’s carbon footprint. The program will be held at 7 pm on Thursday, October 25 at the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta (www.uuca.org). This program is especially helpful for congregations who have had or plan to have an energy audit or assessment of their facilities, as it will help you track the progress you are making in reducing your energy use.
Your congregation can be a front runner in energy efficiency by measuring your carbon footprint with Energy Star’s Portfolio Manager Program. Portfolio Manager is an online data management tool that helps track and measure your building’s energy use. Portfolio Manager can calculate the energy intensity and associated carbon emissions of a particular building while taking into account changes in weather. Once a baseline is established in Portfolio Manager you can calculate the percent energy use reduction to track progress towards your goals. Help your congregation measure your current energy use and track improvements as you become more efficient!
Please plan to attend or to send someone from your congregation to attend this valuable training session!
The Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Atlanta is located at 1911 Cliff Valley Way, NE, Atlanta, GA 30329.
Feel free to call or e-mail us if you have questions!

Energy Star Training; and miscellany
I will not be available on the night noted below but wish that at least one of us would be able to be there. It would at least be a start for JEPR and Wieuca's energy usage.
Georgia Interfaith Power and Light invites a representative from your congregation to attend Energy Star Training Program for Congregations. Learn how to measure and reduce your congregation’s carbon footprint.

=====================================
On a different matter, it was good to have the African children movie as our first ( or second?) film to tweak our faith and conscience and provoke conversation on tough topics.
Thanks to Matt and Andy for moving this activity forward.

A crime to feed the homeless?
Here is a link to a very disturbing article that I found on the CNN website today:
http://www.wftv.com/news/14289861/detail.html
Here is the summary:
ORLANDO, Fla. -- A controversial city ordinance has led to a number of protests and now a trial. An Orlando man is the first person to face a jury for feeding the homeless.
Very sad.

Invisible Children
Hey folks, don't forget about the Invisible Children showing tomorrow (Sunday, October 7th) at 1:30pm in the Heritage Room. Grab some lunch after worship and make your way back to church to watch. We will have some brief discussion afterward.
I invite you to make comments on this post, giving your reflections and thoughts on the movie.
Matt
