Collectively their ministries impact over 100,000 people in our synod. As Lutherans we can be proud of the work done by these well respected agencies.

Trinity’s Social Ministry Committee PAGE 7 www.trinitylansdale.com Green Team sponsored speaker Care of Creation: Climate Change Forum On Sunday, April 26 at 1 pm, Trinity will bring renowned climate scientist Dr Benjamin Felzer to a forum as part of our annual GreenFaith Day activity. Dr Felzer, Assistant Professor from Lehigh University, will describe the impacts of climate change, and talk about what each person can do to make a difference. Dr Felzer is a climate and biogeochemical modeler who studies terrestrial ecosystems. His work has focused on the role of environmental stresses such as climate change, elevated CO2, land use change, and atmospheric pollutants on ecosystem function and services. He has developed the TEM-Hydro model, a biogeochemical model of carbon, nitrogen, and water cycling to address these issues. He has also used the NCAR Community Earth System Model (CESM), a fully coupled atmosphere, ocean, sea ice, land model to explore carbon and water feedbacks between the land and atmosphere. His current NSF-funded research is to study ecosystem response to the effects of climate extremes, such as floods and droughts. 2015 is a make or break year on this important issue. With a major international meeting in December, and the effects of climate change already happening worldwide, Trinity Lutheran Church has a moral duty to act. On April 26 we’ll learn more about climate change and ways to take action. Please plan to join us! The event has been organized in partnership with GreenFaith, an interfaith environmental organization, and Climate Voices, a non-profit dedicated to bringing scientists and citizens together to discuss climate science and the local impacts of climate change.
