2:00 pm: Active Hope Training Session


December 11, 2021

A few years ago, the church studied the book Active Hope, which tells us "We have to choose our attitude about the climate crisis, hope our despair. We don't know if humanity will respond wisely, but we don't know that we won't either. So we have to choose our attitude."

The Climate Action Team worked the follow-up program "Active Hope Training" this summer and liked it so much, they are starting a new session on October 30. They will meet every other Saturday, skipping Christmas. The link to register is on the church website under Climate Action Team as well as here.
