Cool Congregations workshop Description:
Are you the “green sheep” in your congregation?
Do you need tools for taking the next step in leading your congregation’s response to climate change?
You will become a trained leader and receive a tool-kit for this unique stewardship program.
The Cool Congregations program will provide you with the tools you need to make a difference in your home, congregation, and community. Research shows that small group models provide the best opportunity for real and lasting change. Faith communities have used the small group model for centuries! Find out how you can use this time-tested model to lead your congregation’s response to climate change.
Participating households:
- Invest in energy efficiency and renewable energy
- Save money on bills
- Prevent carbon emissions that contribute to climate change
Participants accomplish this by attending a series of small groups led by a trained leader to:
- Measure their carbon footprint
- Explore ways to reduce their footprint
- Make a faith-based pledge to reduce their footprint
- Meet to celebrate their successes and build community!
