The Men’s Group organized a safe household cleanerworkshop that took place during coffee hour. Safe electronics disposal waspromoted with church bulletin inserts of ElectronicsDisposal and A-Z Guide to Disposalon two Sundays. The next month’s theme was vermicomposting. A second safehousehold cleaner workshop was held at Episcopal Church Homes for elders in theindependent living apartments. Earth Day was celebrated with a whole weekend ofevents for the parish and the public, workshops and displays, and the unveilingof the parish demonstration worm bin.
