from an Iowa Interfaith Power and Light e-mail:
Next week could be a very exciting time for Iowa Interfaith Power & Light – but we’re going to need your help to make it so! At times we get so caught up in the hectic schedule of our daily life, the stress of special religious days, or the pressures of caring for Creation and the ‘least among us’ that we lose touch with our Creator and the people around us who enrich our life in so many ways. We need time to celebrate, pray, and learn. And IIP&L hopes to offer that next week with a candlelight vigil, a movie, and workshops on creation care and our energy system. In order to make these events powerful, enriching, and rewarding, we need your help to spread the word to others and join us for a few moments of your day. If you can’t join us at one or more of these events, please email your friends and coworkers or join us in spirit. Thank you very much. With your help, Iowa Interfaith Power & Light will begin our work for the year with renewed vigor and the strength of God and community. Please email iowaipl@gmail.com or call Mark at 319-621-7393 to let us know if you will be able to attend.These events will also be a great time to share things that you or your organizations will be doing with others who are interested in the same ideas.
