Our Green Faith congregation is a caretaker of our living planet and we want to plant trees this spring to keep a healthy environment, provide for fresh air, and homes for birds, animals and pollinating insects. Tree roots also hold moisture and prevent erosion. Please sign up to get a seedling plant and to take care of planet earth! The Green Faith Team will coordinate a group planting event soon after kids get the seedlings, or you can plant yours in your yard. Visit

https://www.neighborhoodforest.org/parent-registration/?school=18603 to register your child. When you register, choose the "Red Bank Library" as your organization and note UMC Red Bank in the comment section. Each child in your family can receive a tree. You are welcome to plant on your own or help GreenFaith plant in an open space to keep the planet healthy.

Adult Education-New Series

Two of the finest spiritual thinkers of our time, Joan Chittister and Richard Rohr, encourage us to be prophetic voices in our time: called to a Third Way—in the words of Jeremiah, "a heart of flesh"—in contrast to the righteousness so common in Western society today. Joan challenges us by asking, "Who are you?" while Richard dares us to change now.

Six sessions include these topics:

•           Opening Remarks: Joan Chittister & Richard Rohr

•           Prophetic Spirit for Today: Joan Chittister

•           Order vs. Charism: Richard Rohr

•           Dialogue: Joan Chittister & Richard Rohr

•           Women, Religion and War: Joan Chittister

•           Seeing in a New Way: Richard Rohr

These teachings were presented at a conference in 2006.
