SUMMARY:Living the Change
DESCRIPTION:Scientists tell us that we must reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 50% by 2030 (vs. a 2010 baseline)\, and that 25 – 30% of all needed emissions reductions must come from individuals/households. 50% may seem like a very high hurdle. But\, it translates to only a 8%/year reduction\, starting now. And\, you may have already made some lifestyle improvements since 2010 that reduced your emissions\, so you could already be well on your way toward the 50% reduction goal.   \n\n\n\nParticipants in this individualized course will leave with a personal plan to achieve the 50% emissions reduction goal through targeted lifestyle improvements that will also save them money. The course was developed in response to the Walk on Earth Gently multifaith statement\, inspired by religious teachings to turn away from consumerism & to seek balanced relationships with all people and the planet.  \n\n\n\nWalk on Earth Gently invites you into a journey of Living the Change that the world needs. This program will work individually with participants\, on dates and times that work for both them and the facilitator.  Those already far along on their carbon footprint reduction journey may only need a few sessions with the facilitator to complete their 50% carbon footprint reduction plan\, whereas others may need more sessions.  Accept the Walk on Earth Gently invitation and commit to a sustainable lifestyle.   \n\n\n\nRegister for this course on www.eventbrite.com at: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1507561550179. Meeting dates and times are individually scheduled.  For more information\, please contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com.

SUMMARY:Via Creationis: Walking the Way of Creation
DESCRIPTION:Gain a richer appreciation of the great mystery of God’s creation in this guided walk in Hermann Park\, using the park’s beautiful natural setting to prayerfully ponder this mystery and praise our Creator for the marvels of Creation.  \n\n\n\nThe Via Creationis (the way of creation) commemorates the mystery of Creation by reading side by side the two sacred books that God wrote: the Book of Scripture and the Book of the Cosmos\, as theologians have taught throughout history. At each stop along the walk\, we will focus on one aspect of creation\, with an accompanying verse from Genesis\, a related science highlight\, responsive readings\, and time for reflection and prayer.   \n\n\n\nDeepen your Christian spiritual practice by walking the way of creation in the park!  All attendees will receive materials on the Via Creationis to take home and use again in future.   \n\n\n\nThis event is for a small group and advance registration is required.  Specific meeting location in the park will be sent to all registrants several days prior to the event.  \n\n\n\nRegister on www.eventbrite.com at:        .  Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com for more information. \n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\n
