Is this recession ever going to end?!  We all know people who are living on very reduced incomes. On April 17, Darlene Marcusson from our partner, Lazarus House, will come to UUSG to present “Doing More With Le$$.” She will share information about resources available in the community for those who are living on reduced incomes. 

This program is suitable for any adult – whether you would like this information for yourself, your family, a friend, a student, or a client.

Please sign up on the Social Justice Bulletin Board to bring an item for the soup and one of the following: bread, salad, dessert, or pop.

People of all ages are invited to participate in the Stone Soup Supper. Children will then go to another room for Games Night. Questions? Please contact Jeanne Neltnor through the church office at 630-232-2350.



]]>Geneva Church to Screen Michael Moore's latest, "Capitalism: A Love Story"http://content.uusg.org/whats-new/2010/3/9/geneva-church-to-screen-michael-moores-latest-capitalism-a-l.htmlUnitarian Universalist Society of Geneva2010-03-09T16:02:23Z2010-03-09T16:02:23ZUUSG will be showing Michael Moore’s movie, “Capitalism: A Love Story,” at 7 p.m. on Friday, March 19.

With his characteristic humor and insight, Moore looks at the price that Americans pay for “loving” capitalism. The movie tells the stories of ordinary citizens who have lost their jobs, their homes, and their savings. Moore exposes shocking practices of corporations which benefit from the deaths and financial difficulties of individuals.

If you missed this movie in the theaters, this is your chance to see it for free. Friday Flicks are still the best deal going in the recession!!
