[Green] Green Sanctuary Committee meeting is Sunday: Call for agenda items

Tue Mar 10 21:28:47 CDT 2020

Hi, Annie,

We will certainly discuss volunteer needs as part of the Sustainability Forum overview at the Green Sanctuary Committee meeting.

You’re right: Earth Day might be canceled!  But I think we should plan for it—it’s not much work and doesn’t take too much preparation. 

And thank you for agreeing to chair the GSC meeting in May!

I’ll move the Sustainability Forum-related comments and questions to the sub-committee email list. There are a few folks on that list who aren’t on this one, and a bunch of people on GSC who aren’t on the Sustainability Forum planning committee.

I think it's a good idea to just have one person connecting to avoid confusion.  I've attached her outline for the keynote.  If I'm her contact then I need to get back to her about the RE and Sunday service.  I was thinking she could talk about what happens when there's little support for sustainability but groups organize within the community to create change...steps that were taken, etc.  Since not that many people from the congregation will be at the forum (maybe I'm wrong), perhaps this is a good time to bring them along to our reasons for the forum.

Something humorous might be a good mix since we're going to be on the heavy side pretty much for three days off and on.

George Banzinger volunteered to make lunch for the solar class - I think it was Wed., but not sure.  And maybe someone else volunteered too.  Adeline might remember - she is better at the details then me.  :)

>> Hi Dear Green Friends,
>> 
>> I think Sunday’s Green Sanctuary Committee meeting will be extra important. Our April GSC meeting will be the 19th, which is AFTER most of the big things are happening, so we’ll have a lot of plans to make at our March meeting (Sunday).
>> 
>> Please send additional agenda items to me by noon Saturday.
>> 
>> Here’s what I’m sure we need to discuss:
>> 
>> 1. Approval of minutes from February meeting
>> 
>> 2. Green Tips volunteer for April (Kudos to Michael Chisholm for his tips in the March orders of service!
>> 
>> 3. Confirmation of presenters and topics for Adult RE classes during April. Here’s what I think it looks like, but 
>> 	April 5: Myra Moss?  Annie, did she agree to this?
>> 	April 12: NONE because of Easter
>> 	April 19: George Banziger on the science of climate change
>> 	April 26: Vic Elam on environmental impacts on wildlife, and information the Ohio River Islands National Wildlife Refuge 
>> 
>> 4. The April 5 service is ours, all ours, every aspect of it except Randall’s music.
>> 	Myra Moss will present the reflection
>> 	Martha McGovern gave me a powerful, powerful poem by Wendel Berry, titled “Questionnaire” that would be terrific. 
>> 	Rebecca Phillips (assuming she can get back into the country) has agreed to serve as Worship Associate
>> 	We need to pick a few hymns (or should we call them “hers,” or possibly “them”?). There are a couple of really super environmental hymns in the hymnal that we never sing. I propose a couple of them. They’re pretty radical!
>> 	Chalice lighting  (could be the Wendell Berry poem); responsive reading; etc.  I think I can organize the whole service with Rebecca’s help (and Chris Keller, and Randall Kidder), but don’t want to claim responsibility to do so without input from the committee.
>> 
>> 5. Solar installer class is April 6-10. 
>> 	The Kalter will house Jay in the She Shed
>> 	Dawn will provide one lunch
>> 
>> 6. Earth Day Marietta is 10-2 Saturday, April 18. 
>> 	Canopies
>> 	Solar gadgets
>> 	Coloring for kids
>> 	My trusty portable clothes line 
>> 	Do we want to do anything new this year? Handouts? CCL stuff?  It’s the 50th anniversary, after all!
>> 	Hippie theme?
>> 	Banner from the children’s RE? 
>> 
>> 7. Sustainability Forum
>> 	Next meeting will be Monday, March 16, at 7:15 p.m. (immediately following CCL)
>> 	Update on progress for GSC members who aren’t on planning subcommittee
>> 
>> What have I forgotten?  OH !  I know: I’ll be out of town the third Sunday in May. Annie, will you chair the GSC meeting? 
>> 
>> Thanks to you all for being on this committee!
