Environmental Advocacy How can we turn our awe & wonder about God’s creation into action to protect it?  This 4-week series aims to provide insights about how we can most effectively advocate for environmental policies.  Through examples, we will learn about the legislative process and about legal strategies to support the environment.  We will learn how to make our faith voice for “Creation Care” strong, and how to multiply our impact by partnering with other organizations.  Finally, we will have time to brainstorm together about how we can best engage ourselves as a community.
