Creation Justice Team
The Creation Justice Team is committed to caring for and repairing our planet through activities and educational opportunities. We try to engage in one major project per year along with quarterly events and ongoing educational blurbs throughout the year. This past year we’ve involved the congregation in a sneaker drive to earn money for planting trees, weeding one Saturday at an inner-city-farm created to address food insecurity, and spent a lovely day of forest bathing in the Great Smoky Mountains. All are welcome to share their passions and creativity! We meet virtually on the first Tuesday of each month. All are welcome! Please contact Pam Hindle (pamela.hindle9247@gmail.com) or Ceil Sheahan (ceil1955@gmail.com).
