Upcoming Events

From September 1 to October 4, Christians around the world celebrate the Season of Creation. Some people pray, some people do hands-on projects, some people advocate.  Christians unite to pray and care for Creation, though we invite all people of faith to take time to reflect and pray during this season. The Season of Creation is a time to slow down and focus on what matters. During this special time each year, we repair and restore our relationships with each other and with all creation.  (more…)

Taught by GIPL Board member, Beth Remmes, this workshop is based on the work of Joanna Macy.

We will address the environmental and cultural problems that we are currently facing and move into a deeper understanding of how we can work towards a more sustainable, just, and peaceful world where all beings can thrive.  Each time you put your unique gift into action, you strengthen yourself, inspire those around you, and take a step in support of life on Earth.
