I am the Environmental Facilitator at First Pres church in Evanston, Illinois and I just saw your posting on sharing Creation Care tips with your congregation. I have read two books that are life-changing in this regard... One is by Dr. Matthew Sleeth entitled "Serve God, Save the Planet." It chronicles hiss family's journey "out of" the American Dream and into a more sustainable lifestyle. His wife Nancy Sleeth wrote an amazing handbook entitled "Go Green, Save Green" which tells how to save on energy costs while allocating more to mission work. My church and hundreds of others have just signed up to be part of a Creation Care Simulcast on April 21, 2010. This is the first-ever, worldwide simulcast, an interactive discussion and celebration of Creation Care. After reading your post, I thought that your congregation might be interested in this.

She is excellent! A few years ago, I attended two ESSDACK workshops for teachers in Hutchinson on Ruby Payne's research on people of poverty. Subsequently, I used her books for sessions with my student teachers. I highly recommend her. She has a lot to say for education and churches interested in working with people of poverty. Thanks to Kristen and Lois for letting us know about this. See you at McPherson High School on Monday, April 5th, from 2-5:00! I want to put in a good word for Ruby Payne. She is excellent!
