[Green] RE for February, and Cool Congregation winners announced : (

[Adeline Bailey]

Hello, all,
A few things:
-Sorry I haven't done the minutes yet - hope to do that today.
-I think Adult RE is 10 - 10:45 rather than 9:30 - 10:30.
-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.
-Also disappointed about Cool Congregation - I think we are pretty cool 
anyway!
Adeline
