In January 2010, a film class from Calvin College visited the Huss Project in Three Rivers to shoot a short film on location.

Both...

One of the traditions of the *culture is not optional community in Three Rivers, Michigan, is to read a blessing before communal meals together.

We've been slowly living into the change for a while, but now it's official: the Imagining Space at Huss School has been renamed The Huss Project.
