March 10th, Ground for Hope-Long Island
March 10, 2013 @ 2:00 pm - 6:00 pm
Superstorm Sandy devastated Long Island. Faith communities are responding.
Ground for Hope-Long Island is a gathering place for people of diverse religious and spiritual backgrounds. To worship. To learn. To network. To plan. To lead.
Clergy and lay leaders – do you want to enrich your preaching, teaching and programming on the environment? Understand the basis in sacred texts for Creation Care? Create ‘green’ economic benefits for your congregation? Attract new, younger members?
Ground for Hope-Long Island is sponsored by GreenFaith and the Long Island Council of Churches and co-sponsored and supported by religious and environmental groups from across Long Island.
