This issue of Earth Letter comes as we move from 2010 to 2011. Even as the holidays draw near, Earth Ministry is as busy as ever. Our biggest event was the Sermon Contest featuring four remarkable preachers (see pages 8 and 9). Goings-On will give you a snapshot of the many activities and events Earth Ministry has sponsored this fall. Our Washington State Environmental Priorities give us a preview of the concerns we will promote at the State Legislature (joining with many other environmental organizations). LeeAnne Beres and Jessie Dye help us focus on the seriously detrimental impacts of burning coal as a fuel. College student David St. Charles shares his poetic vision of “where nature’s beauty meets the soul.”
Thank you to all of our members whose hard work and generous support make this ministry possible.
