SUMMARY:Church Earthkeepers Webinar: Good Things Grow Here
DESCRIPTION:This Month’s Church Earthkeepers: Let’s Learn Webinar \nGood Things Grow Here: Cultivating Native Plants as Congregational and Community Outreach\nThe biblical story begins in the garden of Eden and ends in a garden city. What might happen if our church grounds more intentionally reflected this story? \nIn this practical and inspiring webinar\, Paul Wiemerslage will guide church leaders through the key design steps for creating a native plant garden on church property\, from discerning goals and assessing your site\, to selecting the right plants and preparing the soil. He will also address the question of maintenance\, offering realistic guidance on what to consider ahead of time so that these gardens can thrive long term. \nAlong the way\, we’ll explore how native plant gardens can be places of welcome for both human and non-human creatures\, as well as support other aspects of congregational and missional life. Join us as we learn how to create houses of worship that glorify God by contributing to the flourishing of all God’s creatures. \nNote: The event will be recorded. Please sign up to receive the link to the recording after the event has ended. \nRegisterAbout our speaker: \n \nPaul Wiemerslage is Director of Community programs for Au Sable Institute\, a faith-based environmental organization located in Northern Michigan.  Au Sable’s mission is to inspire and educate people to serve\, protect\, and restore God’s earth. \nIn his role\, Paul leads the Institute’s community outreach efforts\, developing programs that engage local schools\, houses of worship\, and partner organizations in environmental education and community-led habitat restoration projects.   In support of these efforts\, Paul also oversees Au Sable’s greenhouse and native plant propagation program that produces more than 20\,000 native plants a year for use in their programming. \nA husband and father of two girls\, Paul enjoys gardening\, fishing\, and biking with his family. He looks forward to the day when travel hockey doesn’t consume the bulk of his winter and instinctively trusts anyone with dog hair on them. \nMore about the Monthly Church Earthkeepers Meet-Up: \nAre you mobilizing your church to care for creation? Do you wish more people shared your interest? Then join like-minded folks for the Church Earthkeepers virtual event series with a renewed rhythm. This is part of our brand new church engagement program\, Becoming an Earthkeeping Church. You can find out more at the newly designed program webpage: Igniting Creation Care in Churches. \nNot able to make the meetup but keen to find out more? Wherever you’re at\, we’re here to walk with you. To arrange a conversation with our team\, reach us here.
