Green Sanctuary

Mission Statement
The Green Sanctuary Committee seeks to put into practice the Seventh Principle of the UUA: Respect for the interdependent web of all existence of which we are a part. Members work to make the church building more energy efficient and environmentally friendly and to educate the church community on issues of conservation and environmental impact.

We are guided by the UUA Seventh Principle Project and its Green Sanctuary Program, which offers resources and suggestions for creating a sustainable life style for church members as individuals and as a faith community.

We warmly welcome anyone who wants to participate in the activities of the committee. There is no official process for joining the committee: just come to the meetings and work with us!

We usually meet once a month after Sunday services. See the church calendar.
