When God gives you lemons, make lemonade.
When someone in Westport makes an antisemitic snowman, many others make snowmen of love.
That’s the message that Rev. Kari Nicewander of Saugatuck Congregational Church has just sent, to everyone in town.
She invites the community to the church — on Post Road East, near Myrtle Avenue — today between 2 and 4 p.m.
The goal is to build snowmen that send a very different message, than the one found Sunday at Newman Poses Preserve.
“Bring hats and gloves for the snowmen, signs/messages of love and peace, etc.,” the pastor says.
“Our snowmen will have hearts and outreached arms. Let’s fill the lawn and show the community what kind of humans we are. Please help share and get the word out. Each snowman represents another person standing up against hate.”
Today, snow covers the Saugatuck Church lawn. This afternoon, the town is invited there, to make “snowmen of love.”
