We gather this 5th of July to celebrate our Independent Religion, and to celebrate our common Faith in the proposition that the best form of government is a free government of free souls: this is Democracy, writ large, and is the essential premise of the Unitarian Universalist, religious Tradition, or Movement. Let us gather in gratitude for those who have fought to protect our Religious freedoms, and let us give thanks for another summer start together at the Shadowlands Cottage in Good Hart.
Once again Sue Schulze has graciously offered to host our Annual Freedom Picnic on Sunday, July 5th, at her lovely cabin on the bluff overlooking Lake Michigan.
Picnic will start at 12:30 after the art fair visit.
