16th Annual United We Sing           Sunday, November 20th, 4pm                           1475 West Front Street, Lincroft                  Unitarian meetinghouse (uucmc.org)

A multifaith, inter-cultural service of music, word, and dance – voices of different faiths raised in joy and gratitude.  This event had its origins in the aftermath of September 11, 2001.  In anguish and sorrow, we came together from our different cultural and faith traditions to proclaim and celebrate our rich diversity. The healing effect of the evening led us to repeat the event with presentations each year from faith traditions that have included Baha’i, Buddhist, Christian, Hindu, Jain, Jewish, Muslim, Native American, Quaker, Sikh, Unitarian Universalist, and others.

Children are welcome, and refreshments will be served afterwards.

Well, I missed the green enginerering event due to a prior commitment.

But this video may be of interest to all:  It shows you how to build strong structures (and other things) out of sand and window screening.
