This is a good e-mail awareness discipline to use for Lent that I found helpful last year. Good opportunity to share with your congregation for Earth awareness.  With gratitude for our home, this Earth,  Lynda  
 
I was intrigued by the ambitious Earth Film Festival that is going on in Chicago neighborhoods March 5-9.  Check it out.
