St. Philip Green Team

 

“God saw everything that he had made, and indeed, it was very good.” Genesis 1:31

 

All around us we witness the beauty of God’s creation.  God’s creation is everywhere!  As God’s people we are called by God to care for all of God’s creation.  The St. Philip Green Team will help us all – in our worship space, in education, in this building, in our homes, in all of our lives – to lift up and think about and act for care of God’s creation.

 

If you have questions, suggestions, or want to join us speak to anyone on the team: Pastor Kelly, Juli Gruver, Shan Sirry, Dedi Spradlin, or Carol Wesidock.

 

 

Prepare For Fall to Save Money and Go Green

Schedule a professional furnace inspection. Your furnace should be inspected every year to ensure that it's in good working condition. A poorly maintained furnace may be only half as efficient as a furnace that is running well. A qualified inspector can identify potential problems that are preventing your furnace from operating at peek efficiency. Look in the Yellow Pages or go online to find a qualified furnace inspector.

 

Buy rechargeable batteries. Over 15 billion batteries are used every year and most end up in the landfill. Batteries contain toxic heavy metals like nickel, mercury, and cadmium that leach into lakes and streams and pollute the air. Some rechargeable batteries can be recharged up to 1,000 times, taking the place of hundreds of single-use batteries in your lifetime!

 

You can dramatically reduce the number of batteries that end up in the landfill by disposing of them properly in the box drawer inside the front door at St. Phillip.
