Kendall Environmental Coalition
Our church has recently gotten involved with a local Environmental Coalition. This really fits with our desire to be missionally involved with our community, and especially related to issues of social justice like caring for God's creation. We've taken an active role and we're helping to plan several events coming up over the next two months. In particular, our church is kind of the spearhead for the Faith & Our Environment Forum on March 5. It's a follow up to the Faith & Immigration Forum we did back in October. We hope to do a number of similar "Faith & Politics" discussions over the next few years together in partnership with other area churches.

Below are all the Coalition events going on in the next few months. If you're in the area and any of this sounds interesting, you should come on out!
