Description: The Green Team was formed in mid-2010, following a presentation by Rebekah Simon-Peter, an ordained United Methodist pastor with a degree in environmental studies. Team members have a strong interest in the environment. Our goals are to help the church with energy efficiency and other environmental issues, as well as encourage other members of the congregation to be more aware of environmental matters. We welcome new members.
