Inspiring Hoosiers to Care for Creation

Hoosiers of all faiths will gather at noon on Saturday, March 5, to celebrate God’s creation and issue a call to reduce energy use in our homes and congregations.

You are invited to join Lutherans and other people of faith on Saturday March 5 (Noon – 3:10 p.m.) at First Baptist Church, 8600 N. College Ave., Indianapolis, for the first statewide gathering of Indiana clergy and lay people committed to acting as more responsible stewards of God’s Earth. This event will launch Hoosier Interfaith Power and Light (H-IPL). Pastor McKee represents the Indiana-Kentucky Synod on the H-IPL Board of Directors.

The program will include:
• an interfaith worship service
• choral music celebrating the beauty and wonder of creation (all singers are invited to participate)
• presentations on three programs that equip congregations to inspire and enable their members to significantly reduce energy use
• breakout sessions for clergy and lay leaders interested in beginning faith-based energy conservation initiatives in their communities and denominations

To register, go to www.HoosierIPL.org or call the church office (332-5252). Those interested in joining the choir are asked to indicate this on the registration form and arrive by 11 a.m. to practice.
