Green Youth Team Has Launched

A group of teenagers and children met together with some adults on Friday, June 10th. Each participant shared a personal insight and concern about the environmental and climate crises that our planet and life on it are facing. It was truly inspiring to listen how well-informed even our youngest children are about the challenges of protecting God’s creation.

The idea for a Green Youth Team in our church community was the inspiration of 12-year-old Thea Dugas, and she quickly gained the enthusiastic partnership of Wendy Patterson and Annie Antonacos. The response and participation of everyone who was there at the first meeting augurs well for the future of this wonderful opportunity for our youth to be involved in a worthwhile project and ministry. Yes, a ministry! Stay tuned for future news of our Green Youth Team! Thank you Thea and Wendy. And thank you all children and teenagers who came Friday afternoon! Meanwhile, here are some pictures of the Friday get-together, which started with pizza, of course.
