Adult Christian Formation
As the world commemorates Earth Day on April 22, it is important to explore what the Bible says about caring for the environment. Christianity and Climate Change is a four-session Sunday school offering, whose goal is to have a conversation about climate change from a Christian perspective. We will watch and discuss short videos by Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, a Christian climate scientist, and the Tearfund foundation of Scotland.

So, there's an event or class on Zoom, but how do you join? If you have a link, it's easy: Just click on the link, and it takes you into the session. But what if you don't have a link? You just have the meeting ID number and passcode? Here's what you do. In your browser (Internet Explorer, Chrome, Safari, etc.) type in Zoom's web address: zoom.us. Press "Enter" and once you are on Zoom's site, click "Join a meeting." Then you will be prompted to enter the meeting ID number and passcode. The meeting will open after that.
