Room at the Inn Soup Dinner
2021-12-09 17:00 - 20:00 | Room at the Inn Warming Center, 447 W. Washington St, Marquette, MI, United States
Meal for 30 needs to be prepared onsite at Warming Center or in a commercial kitchen and brought to Warming Center

**NEED 5-6 more people to execute. If you can help, please let me know ASAP. We are looking at December 9th 5:00-8:00pm (approximate) at the RATI Warming Center**

Monetary donations would be amazing because we can purchase dinner fixings but, when we have secured volunteers, we will also reach out for food donations to execute (soup ingredients, salad fixings, fruit salad, dinner rolls, and dessert ingredients).

If we have the basics so we can prepare (or deliver) a meal, we would welcome additional donations like TP, PT, coffee and disposable cutlery. See full list of RATI donation requests> https://roomattheinn.org/donate

Please let me know how you’d like to join in our December activity.

On This Gray November Morn
2021-11-21 11:00 - 12:00 | MqtUU Meeting House, 1510 M-28 East, Marquette, MI, 49855, United States
On This Gray November Morn
by February Sky
In Northern places, November is a time when the world seems to be holding its breath. Gray skies and bare trees mark this interval between high Autumn and Winter. Some find November dismal, but there is a beauty to it that can be appreciated by those with open eyes and open hearts. It’s no coincidence that we choose this barren and gloomy month to give thanks for the blessings in our lives. We will deal with the idea of being able to savor our personal November-like times, as we wait for the next thing to arrive. Masks will be required for in person.
