Discussion:
- Cheryl recapped the Faith and Climate Forum, and we talked about doing a book study and watching videos based on information from the Forum. More details to come.
- The next set of most-needed items for the Wash Park UCC Immigrant Ministry are Lysol Wipes, bathroom cleaner with bleach, multi-surface cleaner, and sponges. Let’s bring these with us on May 31 for our Fifth Sunday Fellowship.
Moments for Eco-justice/Eco-practice:
- Rather than buying a new bench for her front yard, Cheryl had it repaired and painted – good as new!
- If you want free tomato seeds, you can pick the seeds out of tomatoes you are eating.
