An Inconvenient Truth coming in Lent. We are currently assembling the materials to do an adult study of Nobel Prize Winner Al Gore's film An Inconvenient Truth during the Rector's Forum.

The film puts forth the argument that we can no longer afford to view global warming as a political issue - rather, it is the biggest moral challenges facing our global civilization. In order to be sure we prepare sufficient study materials, please email Bill at wgstroop@earthlink.net if you are interested in participating.
NEEDED: CASSEROLES, SOUPS, BREADS: Help St. Anne's keep its freezer stocked for delivery to our ill and convalescing, the bereaved and families with new babies.
