Saving Us: Climate Change Book Study
Phyllis Beardsley will lead 5 discussion sessions about the book Saving Us by Christian climate scientist Katharine Hayhoe. Katharine says that the most important action we can take for the climate is to TALK about it. This is difficult when it seems that everyone is worried but nobody is talking! This study group will help us to feel less alone with our worries and to decide together about what action to take. We will discuss one section of the book each session. You are warmly welcome to join us for any or all of these sessions.
Tuesdays April 14 and 28, May 5 and 19, and June 2
5-6:30 pm in the Community Hall (enter via Mitchell St. side door)
For more information and to get a copy of the book, email Phyllis or speak to her at church!
