Going Green for God
Workshop

Are you a good steward of God’s Creation, but would like to learn how to be a better one?  Or are you like many who want to be a good steward, but don't know where to start?  If you answered "Yes" to either question, you won’t want to miss the Going Green for God workshop being jointly hosted by Agape Methodist and Gloria Dei Lutheran Churches on July 11, 2009 from 9am to 12:30pm.  The workshop will be held at Gloria Dei Lutheran, 1706 Slide Rd, Lubbock.  Retired Austin pastor and long-time environmentalist, Merle Franke, will share the Biblical foundation for being a good steward of God's Creation.  Then each attendee will have the opportunity to learn practical tips to conserve God’s valuable resources through conservation and recycling.  You might even learn how to conserve another valuable resource, your money!  Click here to download a poster of the event.
