The Purdue University Student Farm is currently signing up members the their first online Farmer’s Market. If we sign up for 15 or more memberships we will get our weekly shares delivered to us at church each Sunday. We can purchase locally grown organic produce online. Farm Share members get to choose from seasonally available, campus-grown vegetables, herbs, and cut flowers. Members can pick the items in their share each week by logging in to an online shopping cart. Order as much or as little as you’d like until the end of the ten week session.
Are you someone who loves to sing but rarely sings outside of the shower? Or are you an experienced singer who is looking for an opportunity to sing in a relaxed, fun environment? Consider becoming part of Blue Moon Rising, a non-audition community choir. We welcome everyone who enjoys singing - no experience or ability to read music is needed! Led by UU member Denise Wilson, the group will meet weekly from 7:00-8:45 p.m. on Wednesday evenings at the Unitarian Universalist Church in West Lafayette. Our second session begins on August 19 and runs until November 18. The fee for the 14-week session is $140 with a sliding scale and scholarships available for anyone with a limited income. Feel free to come and try out this unique singing experience on Aug. 19 before deciding to continue.
We sing a wide variety of songs which include folk songs (old and new), South African freedom songs, old-time gospel, and songs that celebrate peace and justice. The songs have rich harmonies and irresistible rhythms that will get your body moving, lift your worries, and grow your ability to sing with confidence and passion. You can read more at www.denisewilson.net/blue-moon-rising. Denise will also post info on her Denise Wilson Music Facebook page.
