SUMMARY:CLIMATE CHANGE & WHY IT MATTERS TO CHRISTIANS
DESCRIPTION:Dr. Mark Seeley will share the relevance of faith perspectives to our understanding and concern for the Earth’s climate system. He brings together two essential themes: scientific knowledge to grasp what’s happening and faith mandate to be stewards of God’s gifts\, including the world we live in. Stewardship\, a value shared across religions\, provides common ground to discuss climate change and what to do about it.Dr. Seeley is a climatologist and meteorologist who retired after 40 years on the faculty in the University of Minnesota’s Department of Soil\, Water\, and Climate. He is widely known for his weekly weather and climate commentaries (since 1992) on Minnesota Public Radio’s Morning Edition program. A frequent speaker\, consultant\, and author\, he has participated in thousands of speaking engagements\, interviews\, and public events\, including sharing his expertise on climate and agricultural production.

SUMMARY:EST MINISTRY POP-UP
DESCRIPTION:TOO MUCH STUFF? \n\n\n\nStop by the Environmental Stewardship Team (EST) pop-up tables while you enjoy coffee and cookies after the services. The focus of information shared will be on ways to live lightly. Learn innovative ways we all can reduce\, reuse\, and recycle beyond the bins.  \n\n\n\nBring your gently used books to the book swap table and exchange them for something new to read! Don’t have a book to swap? Feel free to grab one to read anyway! You’ll also hear about new programs in our community that can help you and your family as you do fall cleaning and look forward to Christmas. \n\n\n\nGenesis 2:15 “And the Lord God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to dress it and keep it.”  This verse speaks to the responsibility given to humanity to cultivate\, maintain\, nurture\, guard\, protect\, and preserve our planet.
