<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hello, all,<br>
A few things:<br>
-Sorry I haven't done the minutes yet - hope to do that today.<br>
-I think Adult RE is 10 - 10:45 rather than 9:30 - 10:30.<br>
-Commit2Respond starts up again with World Water Day on March 22,
and runs through Earth Day on April 22. If I read correctly, C2R
is calling it Climate Justice Month. Maybe we can draw from some
of their worship resources for the service or for our RE
presentations. (Not that we couldn't come up with stuff on our
own.) In the meantime, if we want to register our congregation or
just sign up as individuals, we can do that now.<br>
-Also disappointed about Cool Congregation - I think we are pretty
cool anyway!<br>

Hi Green friends,
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thank you for sending that list of dates, Adeline. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Now let’s talk about RE for April. We tentatively
came up with “Putting the Seventh Principle into Practice” as
the theme.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We discussed these topics for April 2,9,23, and 30
(but not 16, because it’s Easter):</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<ul class="">
<li class="">Water</li>
<li class="">Local foods, including CSAs, and perhaps getting
a CSA farmer to come talk</li>
<li class="">The Climatarian diet</li>
<li class="">Reading Food Labels (including “organic,” “all
natural,” “non GMO,” “cage free,” “free range,” grass fed</li>
<li class="">Meat: how to tell if it’s humanely raised and
slaughtered</li>
<li class="">Energy</li>
</ul>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
</div>
<div class="">I said I would contact Thomas Blane to see if he
would do a session with us. He’s the Associate Prof at OSU who
will be speaking on <b class="">Global Climate Change and
Gardening for the Extension service from 1-2:30 at Graham
Auditorium, WCC, 710 Colegate Drive, Marietta.</b> FREE. (Add
that to list of green events, please.)</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Do I have any volunteers to be a presenter or
discussion leader or otherwise to take responsibility for one of
those RE sessions and/or topics? RE is 9:30-10:30 Sunday in the
Fellowship Hall.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Also, we’re hoping we can claim April 2 for our
annual service, and I’ll ask Dave B. if he would consider being
the primary speaker for that event. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I will check with Rev Kat and the Worship &
Music committee to see if we can have that date, and then check
with Dave.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I hope I got all that right. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">And then there’s Earth Day. Let’s get our RE and
service obligations nailed down first. </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">TIA for your wisdom, input, help,</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<div class="">Re The Cool Congregation Challenge. Winners were
announced. We were not among them. Disappointed.</div>
