Earth Month is here and we’ve been busy getting ready. Lots of planning and advocacy… Enjoying warmer weather (or not) with walks, hikes, bike rides, marches and rallies. Looking ahead to more of these, and the events listed below, which we hope to share with you all.
- Sunday, April 10th: Come to the Green Sanctuary table at the back of the Great Hall and learn more about upcoming events for Earth Day and much more! Just like old times! 12noon after our Sunday Service ends, there is still time to go to Greenmarket, now outdoors around Schenectady City Hall on Jay Street.
