This meeting will take place over Zoom.

In this meeting, we’ll give you a quick update on what each of our three Working Groups have been doing this past year, but most importantly we want to hear from YOU! We want YOU to also update us on what Climate Action steps your Houses of Worship and congregations have been taking, and how can we help in that process! We also want to hear YOUR IDEAS and what you have learned this past year that you can share with us at FCGG. In this meeting we will spend more time listening to you than us talking about FCGG!
We hope that all of you will join us on zoom as we are truly looking forward to connecting with you! Dec 14, 2023 at 7:00 PM Eastern Time (US and Canada)
