Some years ago, Jeff and Kim Wells went to hear Jane Goodall speak at the University of South Florida. Among other things, Goodall talked about a youth program she was sponsoring with groups around the world. The program is like scouts with an environmental focus.
One of the projects of the youth groups is to make these large Peace Dove puppets for parades and demonstrations. At the USF talk, Goodall described how to make the dove. After the lecture, Jeff found the instructions online and decided to make a dove for LUCC to display at the St. Petersburg International Day of Peace Celebration in Straub Park downtown. The dove has been flown on several other occasions including at Circus McGirkus.
This year the peace dove was stirred from its rest in the rafters of the church garage and flown around the church lawn before the service for Earth Sunday April 23.
Excerpted from a message received from Rev. Chance Martinez-Colon: The march and rally that the Coordinating Committee has been working hard to plan for this week has been postponed. There is a legal challenge in the works and I invite you to join the Florida Poor People’s Campaign and Rev. Dr. William Barber (tonight, April 26th) at 8:15pm via Zoom to hear more about the legal challenge and next steps.
The very important work of the Florida Poor People’s Campaign is still ongoing and this legal challenge will help us continue to move forward together.
To join the Zoom Meeting on Wednesday, April 26 at 8:15pm, please see the zoom id and password below:
