The Greening Grace Team is an active committee focused on our mission to enable Grace Church and parishioners to reduce our energy consumption and cost, reuse our God-given resources, and recycle. Thanks to the leadership of Jonathan and Alicia Hunt, the team now has 7 core team members and launched a 2011 planning meeting at the end of October. We meet monthly on Tuesday evenings at 8pm and are currently pursuing the following education, “greening”, and community service opportunities:
- Submitting environmentally focused grant applications for Grace Church
- Identifying topics and facilitators for the 2011 Lenten Education series
- Identifying workshops and attendees (e.g. Sustainable House of Worship (SHOW) workshop and Green Grant Gathering) to share ideas
- Posting volunteer and education opportunities on our blog: http://gracemedford.org/greeninggrace
The team submitted our first grant application for a small rain water harvesting system thanks to Catherine Smith. We also partnered with Green Medford on Halloween to participate in “Reverse Trick or Treat” to distribute energy efficient light bulbs to Medford residents.
For more information or to join the team, please speak to Jonathan or contact the team at greeninggrace@gracemedford.org or consult this blog. We welcome your ideas!
