Our church has changed how our wifi is wired. We discovered the Google mesh routers (suggested after the first time our wifi failed) don’t work for our very concrete building, so now we have several mesh routers that we are looking to sell at half price ($25/router). Contact the office if anyone would like to buy some for their homes.
We are also looking to sell some stained glass windows. They were salvaged from the fire but were not used in the rebuild and have been in storage since. Contact Bob if interested, or if you know of someone who might be interested.
Earthcare Committee would like to alert you to two movies on Prime that might be of interest in your earthcare education:
“Kiss the Ground” reveals a viable solution to the climate crisis. By regenerating the world’s soils, we can stabilize Earth’s climate, restore ecosystems, and create abundant food supplies.
“Common Ground”, the sequel to Kiss the Ground, reveals how innovators are creating a new food system that produces nutrient-dense food while healing our climate, bodies, and ecosystem.
If you have information that should make it into next month’s newsletter, please let Martine know.
Keep the faith! WPC
