Creation Action Network (C.A.N.)

This is a network of people interested in sharing information and concern for our creation and environmental justice throughout our community and the world.  There are no regular meetings. We contact each other through email with events and activities that focus on injustice, legislation, community events, books, webinars, articles to enhance our understanding and promote advocacy about our creation.  If you are interested, contact the church office to be added to the email list for Creation Action Network (C.A.N.).
