An Ecumenical Green Congregation Training Workshop
Saturday, Feb. 27th
All people have reason to be concerned about the environmental state of the world. As Christians, we have a special call to care for the earth by reducing our negative impact upon God’s creation and seek to discover ways to care for Earth. This is an opportunity to learn practical hands-on steps to care for creation in your congregation.
We encourage teams of 3 to 5 people (or more) to attend who would serve as a catalyst to bring care for creation into your congregation or to learn more to enhance their greening programs. Pastors and lay professionals are encouraged to come to learn about the program, to offer support, and to be part of the process.
Led by special guest Rev. Dr. David Rhoads, of the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago and Director of the Green Congregation Program.
