Creation Care charting new course in 2025

Posted

On Thursday, Jan. 23, at 5:30 p.m., Creation Care Pagosa will hold its monthly meeting in the Fellowship Hall of the Community United Methodist Church. All are welcome. 

This month’s meeting will be potluck with dinner starting at 5:30 p.m.. Please bring a dish to share.

“Our group started a little over two years ago,” said co-founder Sarah Riehm. “We’ve grown from eight people to 81 on our active roster, so clearly there is an interest in Pagosa Springs among people interested in taking an active role in environmental preservation. 

“In 2024, we were privileged to have great speakers, from Nobel Prize-winning scientist Dr. Terry Root speaking on plastics and the environment to Paul Kriescher explaining how to retrofit a home to make it more energy efficient. This year, our members want to do more hands-on activities and community involvement. Our January meeting will be devoted to setting specific goals and actions for the year.

“Please join us for what could be our most important meeting of the year. What would you like to see happen in our community to increase awareness of environmental issues and to help preserve our precious natural resources? If you are interested in protecting our natural resources, please attend to make your voice heard.”
