Renewing the Face of the Earth:
Lenten Reflections on Air
(I have checked out the suitability of this resource for the southern hemisphere and it seems to be adaptable. MT)
This five-session resource, “Renewing the Face of the Earth” can enhance group prayer and sharing, build community, deepen awareness of God's presence and action within creation, increase participants' understanding of air pollution and global warming, and motivate participants to action. This free resource is available now for perusal or downloading: http://www.shcj.org/amer/documents/2012LentReflectionBookAir_001.pdf
It is is part of a three-year Lenten trilogy that includes Soil, Water, and Air. For information about these, contact Terri MacKenzie, SHCJ, terrishcj@aol.com
