A Climate Action Plan for Faith Communities & People of Faith @ Online Event
Nov 21 @ 6:00 pm – 7:00 pm

Event Information

Join Lisa Brenskelle, Climate Communication Coordinator for Texas Interfaith Power & Light to learn to develop a climate action plan.

About this event

Christ the King Evangelical Lutheran Church invites you to a monthly environmental education web meeting series whose theme in 2021 is Healthy Planet = Healthy People = Healthy Economy. In November, join Lisa Brenskelle, Houston Climate Communication Coordinator for the Texas chapter of Interfaith Power & Light, for a discussion on developing a Climate Action Plan for your faith community and its members. The City of Houston has a Climate Action Plan, but how do you translate that to your faith community, or to your household? Clearly, a city and a faith community or an individual household are very different. However, certain fundamental principles apply to all cases. This talk will highlight those principles, as well tools available and steps to take in developing a climate action plan for both houses of worship & individuals. Time for interactive Q&A with the speaker will be provided. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com with any questions.

All Creation Waits book discussion group for Advent

Event Information

Avoid the consumer hype of the “holiday season” and instead read & discuss 25 intimate, beautifully-written portraits of wild animals.

About this event

Avoid the consumer hype of the “holiday season” with daily intimate, beautifully-written portraits of wild animals and their adaptations to the cold and dark of winter. The author sees in these creatures lessons for adapting to the “winters” in our own lives. The book, although intended as a devotional for the Christian season of Advent, is very unusual in that it contains no overtly religious content, making it suitable for people of all faiths, or no faith at all. So, Christians, environmentalists, animal lovers & others will be captivated and inspired by these stories. Join a weekly discussion group, online, to reflect together on All Creation Waits.
