Action Teams: Get Involved
What is our place in this world? How do our purchasing habits and lifestyle choices affect the earth? How can we engage the congregation to act for the earth? Whatever your strengths and interests, there is room for you on our Action Teams: 
  • The Stop Climate Change Action team is working on initiatives to lower GHG emissions individually and as a congregation, and to enhance carbon sequestration.  It also will foster healthy consumer and food choices. Contact Priscilla Morton: prismorton@comcast.net
  • ​The Stop Extinction Action Team is working on initiatives that promote habitat, sustainable agriculture, and making the earth safe for life. Contact Anna Newton: asnewton3@gmail.com
  • The Ensure Justice Action Team will help other Action Teams include justice in all their efforts. This team will also promote independent justice events and activities where needed. Contact Jean Hammink: jhammink@earthlink.net
