SUMMARY:2020 Summer Film Series | Taking Root
DESCRIPTION:We invite you to watch Taking Root: The Vision of Wangari Maathai\, and join us to discuss the film on Sunday\, July 26\, following Sanctuary worship. Click here to participate on Zoom or call 929.205.6099. Enter meeting ID# 819.8076.6834 when prompted. \nPlanting trees for fuel\, shade\, and food is not something that anyone would imagine as the first step toward winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Yet with that simple act\, Wangari Maathai\, a woman born in rural Kenya\, started down the path that reclaimed her country’s land from 100 years of deforestation\, provided new sources of food and income to rural communities\, gave previously impoverished and powerless women a vital political role\, and ultimately helped end Kenya’s 24-year dictatorship. \nPlease watch Taking Root prior to our discussion. The movie is available to watch for free at takingrootfilm.com/earth-day-2020. \n\nAbout ELPC’s 2020 Summer Film Series\nEach year\, the Mission Board and Mission Committees sponsor and host a summer film series. As we live into our designation as a PC(USA) Matthew 25 Congregation\, this year’s movies and documentaries will challenge us to continue our work as an anti-racist community and highlight the importance of environmentalism.

SUMMARY:Environmental Book Club: Braiding Sweetgrass
DESCRIPTION:The Environmental Team of the Justice Committee invites you to read Braiding Sweetgrass by Robin Wall Kimmerer (2013\, 390 pages)\, and then join us on Thursday\, October 29\, 7 pm\, for a discussion on Zoom. \nThe subtitle of the book is “Indigenous Wisdom\, Scientific Knowledge\, and the Teachings of Plants.” As a botanist and professor of Environmental Biology\, Kimmerer has been trained to ask questions of nature with the tools of science. As a member of the Citizen Potawatomi Nation\, she embraces the notion that plants and animals are our oldest teachers. She brings these lenses of knowledge together to show that the awakening of a wider ecological consciousness requires the acknowledgment and celebration of our reciprocal relationship with the rest of the living world. \nThe book is a New York Times best seller\, and people are finding this work to be grounding\, calming\, and quietly revolutionary. \nPlease contact Nancy Heastings for Zoom information or for questions.

SUMMARY:MLK Day of Service Sock Collection
DESCRIPTION:This year marks the 26th anniversary of the Martin Luther King\, Jr.\, Day of Service (January 18)\, celebrating the life and legacy of the civil rights leader. Observed each year on the third Monday in January as “a day on\, not a day off\,” MLK Day is the only federal holiday designated as a national day of service to encourage all Americans to volunteer in their communities. \nIn observance of MLK Day\, to fulfill the theme of “a day on\, not a day off\,” and to live into being a PC(USA) Matthew 25 Church\, ELPC is hosting a Drive-by Sock Collection on Sunday\, January 17\, 1–3:30 pm\, to serve one of the needs of our vulnerable neighbors who are experiencing homelessness. You may drop off sock donations at the Highland Avenue half-circle driveway. \nTypically\, people living in homelessness spend their days walking in their community—and we all know and appreciate that when your feet are cold\, your entire body is cold. Socks are the most requested items of clothing from ministries and organizations that serve individuals who are experiencing homelessness. \nPlease purchase warm socks in sizes for men\, women\, and children to be donated to local shelters. \nThis ministry opportunity is sponsored by the ELPC Mission Board\, Neighbors Committee\, and the Board of Deacons. If you have any questions\, please contact Pastor Patrice at PatriceFS@coh.net.

His scholarly works and political activism engendered a new political consciousness\, challenged prevailing assumptions about African history\, provided a new construct for development theory and established a framework for analyzing current global socio-economic and political issues. Rodney & Davis’ lives intersected when they met at the University of Dar-es- Salaam in Tanzania; they are both grounded in historical truth\, and in their commitment to human dignity\, liberation\, resistance and scholar-activism.
