Environmental Stewardship

Last year the deacons in our diocese presented a workshop at diocesan convention called "Greening our Congregations." Afterward, a Diocesan Green Team was formed and will be presenting a workshop at convention again this year, titled "Leaner and Greener: Financial and Creation Stewardship."

In an age when our planet, as well as our economy, is facing serious issues,  the faith community has a great responsibility to encourage and make wise choices and foster sustainability in our homes and churches.
