Defending God’s Creation in Honor of

Earth Day 2024

Central UMC’s Green Team kicked off the celebration of Earth Day with a Green Team Workshop on April 21, 2024.

The workshop was facilitated by Marqus Cole J.D., Organizing Director for Georgia Interfaith Power & Light (GIPL).

It was a joy to have Marqus worship with us before the Upper Room-themed workshop. He prophetically engaged the Central family

participants in as we feasted on a meal and dialogue.

Marquis Cole will serve as Central’s Green Team coach for 12 months. All members are encouraged to join the green team as we move forward in making a difference by embracing our community and defending our climate.
