A little less than a year ago a small group began meeting at St. Barnabas for a Bible Study on Creation Care. During this study a dream to do more grew. That desire led to a plan to hold a workshop on Creation Care and involve the other Episcopal Church in Valdosta. The group met monthly making community contacts and fine tuning their plan.
This past Saturday the dream of the group came to fruition. Almost forty people from the Southwest Georgia area came out to our inaugural Creation Care: A Celebration of Hope event. It was a morning of informative presentations, prayers, and an opportunity to connect and learn from each other about our local environment and the issues we still face. Many thanks to the team from St.Barnabas, Christ the King and Christ Church that helped pull this event together. We also would like to take this opportunity to thank Rep. Dexter Sharper, Gretchen Quarterman and Kimberly Tanner from WWALS and Dr. Treva Gear with Dogwood Alliance, the Georgia Native Plant Society and the City of Valdosta Arbor Division in helping to make our dream a success!
