This was a great multi-generational service project that we documented with two cameras. We developed it with the congregation a week before and they gave us free reign to shoot, edit and interview who we needed to tell the story. It premiered on Feb 15, 2012.
“On Sunday, Feb 12th, our Senior High Youth led an educational service project with our children, as part of the Standing on the Side of Love campaign. After teaching our children a bit about love, marriage equality, and justice, we made Valentines to send to the NY State representatives who voted to support Marriage Equality. Being a Brooklyn congregation we sent the cards to Brooklyn representatives. We also included Valentines to our Federal Senators, Mayor, Governor, and the four Republicans (state-wide) who made a stand on personal conscious across party lines. Please watch the video here to learn more!” – Rev. Jude Geiger
