Our Secular Service Endeavor

By Neece

It’s time to choose a worthy cause to donate our efforts in the name of Secular Service! We are going to share our ideas at our next meeting then tally up which is most popular. But in the meantime, you can start the conversation here. Leave a comment with your suggested charity and why we might enjoy helping them.

It would be nice to pick a charity that we can help in more than one way, such as time, money or goods. That way we can all contribute in whatever way suits us best.

Morgantown Atheists is hosting this endeavor, but we will donate our Service in the name of Morgantown Coalition of Reason. So if you are a Morgantown Bright, a UU member, or a member of any of the other Morgantown CoR groups, please consider throwing in your two cents and your help for…

Happy National Secular Service Day!

By Neece

A Rescue MissionSunday, October 18, 2009 marks the first ever National Secular Service Day. Today, nonreligious organizations all over America will unite in performing acts of community service.

One of our missions as Morgantown Atheists is to help others and offer public service, and we are looking forward to participating next year. Unfortunately we found out about it a bit too late this year to organize anything for today.

The NSSD offers suggestions for Service Ideas:

  • Volunteer at a homeless shelter.
  • Work in a local soup kitchen.
  • Bake cookies for a firehouse
  • Help build houses in weather damaged areas.
  • Help with construction at a local park or other public area.
  • Clean up a park or other part of the community.
  • Start or participate in a mentoring program (i.e. Big Brother, Big Sister)
  • Pick up trash on a highway.
  • Restore trails or habitats in a National, State,

Teaming Up, Doing Good

By Neece

thinking outside the boxHello Everyone!

The billboard is up and making the news! You can see all the press we’ve gotten so far here: http://morgantown.unitedcor.org/press . Some of the comments at the different articles are fun and interesting. The Charleston Gazette has 100 comments, the most popular story at the moment. It appears that there are about 3 or 4 positive to each negative comment! Here is the link: http://wvgazette.com/News/200909290601

Rachel has done a great job as our spokesperson. She even got on TV: http://wboy.com/story.cfm?func=viewstory&storyid=67641 Watch the video too!

So, MorgantownCoR comprises the Morgantown Atheists, the Morgantown Brights, the Freethinkers Morgantown Book Club and the Morgantown Thomas Paine Society. One thing we all want to do is make a positive difference in our community. Through our actions, we can show the traditionally religious people in our area that we are good, moral…

Godless WV Groups Organize around Morgantown Billboard

By Neece

Don't Believe In God? You're Not Alone In Morgantown, West Virginia!(Morgantown, WV, September 29, 2009.) Atheists and agnostics in Morgantown, West Virginia, have organized around an electronic billboard on Mileground Road. The billboard reads, “Don’t believe in God? You are not alone.” These words are superimposed over an image of blue sky and clouds.

Four groups of freethinkers and humanists have pooled their efforts to launch the new Morgantown Coalition of Reason, sponsor of the billboard. Their aim is to educate the public about their worldview and what their groups do. The billboard invites like-minded people to visit the coalition’s website at www.MorgantownCoR.org. Motorists traveling west on Mileground Road into Morgantown will see it.

Under the co-sponsorship of the United Coalition of Reason, a national coordinating body, this billboard is part of a larger nationwide campaign aimed at raising the public profile of nontheists and organizing nontheistic groups in major cities. The United Coalition of Reason plans to fund…
