Diving deeper into a topic

Dear Colleagues,
I find your enthusiasm for the community garden wonderful!
We will have a lot to talk about at our next meeting this Sunday.
Let me suggest to you a thought that I have seen in other churches with green teams.
Different people have different agendas and some are more into one green topic than another. Therefore some congregations have divided up their green team ministry in multiple genres. For example, the most common topics in green congregations are:
-Community Garden
-Recycling and composting
-Faith and sustainability (educating the parish to reduce their carbon footprint with movies, books, Eco events, other resources)
-Energy conservation (mostly building related)
-Green purchase policy (buying energy efficient products like CFL, LED or recycled paper for our bulletins, fair trade products for coffee hour and events)
-Genesis covenant (remember the Episcopal convention signed the legislation to reduce all church related carbon emissions by 50% within 10 years)
and whatever else is important to us.
So please pray and think about where you would like see yourself. Of course multiple seats are an option!
