Green & Sustainable

Earth Stewardship: We Love and Respect the Earth!

The Green & Sustainable committee is an ad-hoc committee that meets as needed to plan special events designed to educate and raise awareness. The committee members vary, depending on the event. Events they have held in the past include:

"Fuzz Fest" - A natural fiber festival of weavers, spinners, felters, knitters, and more.

Locavore Church Supper - Locavore chef Ted McCormack roasted local chickens & produce for 150 people.

Tomato Seedling Gifts - 10-inch plants given to all children at Children's Sunday Service.

Canning Classes - Participants were taught how to "put up" their fruits & veggies.

Basket Weaving Classes - Participants were taught how to make baskets of willow strips.

Eco-Palms - Fair trade palms are featured at our Palm Sunday Services.

Fair Trade Coffee  - is offered at any of our events, and each Sunday. Buy a bag!
