Presbyterian Women of Southminster are participating in a Bible Study this 2024/25 year called Let Justice Roll Down: God’s call to care for neighbors and all creation. It has nine topics that relate to being good stewards of the earth God has loaned to us. The monthly topics are: Environmental Justice, Land Justice, Food Justice, Water Justice, Air Quality, Climate Change, Economic Climate Justice, Intergenerational Justice, and Sustaining Creation’s Health for All.

We feel that we should practice what we are learning. To that end, four white bins with orange liners have been placed in the following areas:

• Narthex food area
• Cana Room by the coffeemakers
• Just inside exterior basement door
• Genesis Room

Laminated lists are posted on each bin for what is acceptable to be recycled. Full bags can be tied shut and placed inside the blue recycling bin just inside the exterior basement door. Replacement bags will be stored above the food area sink in the narthex. As our use of these new bins grows, it’s possible we’ll start to outpace our recycling contract. To avoid additional expenses, members of PWS are prepared to take excess recycling to their homes to add to their own recycle collection at no added cost to them.
