			Upcoming Events March 7 Screening of environmental-themed film, A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash After worship

	The Lyrics of Lent ... and EnvironLentalism We have many activities planned for this special church season - click here for a complete schedule. Also, our Social Action & Outreach Board is proud to once again sponsor an environmental awareness month that coincides with Lent. We feel that Lent's themes of sacrifice and inward reflection fit perfectly with the concept of being a more conscious environmental steward, and we're planning a series of events, special messages, and challenges to encourage the congregation to think green! Next Sunday (March 7) we'll be showing an environmental-themed film, "A Crude Awakening: The Oil Crash" after worship. We'll be showing the film in Ray Hall. Come join us for lunch and learn about the history of our addiction to fossil fuels and what the future may bring. Our environLENTalism campaign will tentatively conclude March 21 with our second annual "Green Sunday," where we will celebrate Mother Earth by wearing green, worshiping on the patio, and enjoying special earth-themed hymns and messages.
