WYOMING PRESBYTERIAN CHURCH

Thank you to all who helped/attended the 2nd Earth Day /Climate Action event on April 27 hosted outdoors here at Wyoming Church.

We appreciate our incredible organizing committee:   Kirk Sohr, Jeff Davis, Becky Sawyer, Debbie Jacoby, Max Calbick, Pastor Heather Brannon, Tracy Policastro, Marilyn Gonzalez, and Dave Berry.

We all know that climate change is real, but most of us don’t know how we can take CLIMATE ACTION in our daily lives, in our homes, and with our purchases.

This event was all about that: individual climate action.

Exhibitors included sustainability and climate experts in composting, home products, gardening, native plants, bicycles, fresh food, and electric/hybrid vehicles.
Experts and Exhibitors:

May 3, 4:30 pm–6:30 pm: Sandwich making for HOMM.

Families are encouraged to join in on the fun. Everyone is invited to join us in Fellowship Hall to make sandwiches and assemble food for House of Mercy Mission’s feeding program. There will be a job for everyone, even our youngest children! Feel free to bring a friend, too.
