Embry Hills United Methodist Church (UMC) in Atlanta, Georgia held a midweek fellowship on Wednesday, Sept. 14.
In a Facebook post, the church said it welcomed Hannah Shultz, Program Associate at GIPL, who guided the members through Creation Care 101 during the midweek fellowship.
The course emphasized how the religious community might start a Creation Care program by drawing on GIPL and UMC resources, according to the church.
The use of efficient energy and water use, inventive environmentally friendly trash disposal methods, sustainable purchasing for the church, as well as spiritual resources to support the work, are all examples of practical initiatives, the church said.
The church said the activity started at 4:30 p.m. for Snax Sax, while at 6 p.m. for BYO dinner (or order a Jason’s Deli box), and at 6:30 p.m. for adult, youth, and children programming and fellowship time.
It added that also at 6:30 p.m. the Handbell choir performed and followed by the adult choir at 7:15 p.m.

NETWorks Cooperative Ministry
The church's website stated that NETWorks Cooperative Ministry has enthusiastic support.
By functioning as a contribution drop-off location, recruiting volunteers, holding board positions, and other activities, the organization seeks to "engage with people to identify long-term solutions to poverty." It provides "food and cash assistance to Northlake-Embry Hills-Tucker residents."
According to Embry Hills United Methodist Church, the American Red Cross has reportedly sponsored blood drives on our campus six times a year since 2012.
They may visit www.redcrossblood.org and enter the sponsor code "embryhills" to find out about the next one.
Participating in this Advent community service initiative at Embry Hills United Methodist Church is a long-standing custom and an easy way to get to know the locals.
The church claimed that because United Methodist churches are a part of a connectional denomination, they can serve and give more effectively collectively than they can individually.
Contributes Fund to Other Organizations
Embry Hills United Methodist Church claims that through budget giving, above-and-beyond gifts, and special events, it contributes money to various non-governmental organizations.
The American Red Cross, Advent Giving Trees, NETWorks Cooperative Ministry, and Snax Sax for Kids were listed by the church as examples of recurring events.
It further mentioned that during the academic year, 360 students from the Northlake/Tucker/Decatur Title I primary schools who are struggling to eat are provided with weekend snack bags by the regional Snax Sax for Kids program.
According to the church, they consider it an honor to work with the Atlanta Community Food Bank as a Partner Agency.
The church said the public is welcome to email Dr. Thrasher at pastor@embryhillsumc.org with any queries.
No one from the church will contact the general public and demand money or gift cards, the church warned. It made it clear that anyone receiving such demands could choose to delete the communication and then notify the church staff of their decision.
Additionally, it advised against answering or clicking any of the message's links.
