As part of an Earth Day Symposium for "All People of Faith," these hands-on workshops with children will introduce them to issues related to global warming and the importance of the environment in which we live.
2-5 pm Youth Workshop (grades 6 – 12) – presenters, Sasha Bilow and Carl Adair (3:15 – 5:00 pm) location - church gym
Sasha Bilow and Carl Adair are seniors at the University of Rochester. Both have been active members of Grassroots, the environmental action and awareness group on campus. Sasha has been a coordinator of the Graduation Pledge, a movement which urges students to take into account the environmental and social consequences of any employment they are considering. Carl has brought Recyclemania, a nationwide recycling competition, to the University of Rochester.
Their youth workshop will ask the following questions: Have you ever thought about the ways that your actions affect God's creation? What are our responsibilities as the stewards of God's creation? Using a combination of film, readings, discussion, and activities, we will explore how we affect the world around us. What is an environmental footprint, and how can we make ours smaller? How can we engage our friends, schools, and congregations as we ensure that our children are able to enjoy the same beautiful Earth?
2:20-5 pm Children’s Workshop (grades 1-5) – presenter, Annie O’Reilly and friends (2:20 – 5:00 pm) location - church library
Annie O'Reilly is certified to teach Project WILD, Project WET, and Flying WILD workshops. She enjoys teaching the next generation of environmentalists. Mike O'Reilly enjoys sharing activities with others and being a good steward of the earth. Trish Pielnik loves children and loves nature, and is happy to combine the two in this workshop. Dick Wainwright builds birdhouses and has a passion for sharing it with children.
The workshop will explore endangered species of birds with a fun game. Then participants will be able to help expand bird habitat by building a birdhouse from salvaged wood, which can then be taken home.
