Warner Memorial Presbyterian Church, Kensington, MD - "We may be a red brick building, but we are working to be a "green" church!"
Westminster Church of the Brethren, Westminster MD - Our Green Project Team has been active along with the Property Team. Yellow recycle bins were purchased for each floor of the church and baskets were put out in other areas for bulletin recycling. Each Sunday in our bulletin, we have a tip about an action the congregation can take to save energy. We also have a free energy audit. We announced the Earth Hour and an event another church has planned for 4/18, which is the showing of the Disney Earth movie. We're hoping many of our members attend. We have also informed the congregation of an event a local school is having on 4/17. Our chorister is going to be getting a list of hymns in the new Stewardship of the Bay curriculum to have us sing on the Sunday after Earth Day. One area we are still working on is a substitute for Styrofoam coffee cups. That is an action in progress!
