Earth Day Events

In the previous post, we told you about the Earth-Water-Faith Festival in Annapolis on April 28.  If you did not read about it, go back and check it out.  There are however, plenty of other events surrounding Earth Day in our area.

On April 7, at 7pm the First Presbyterian Church in Annapolis will host a presentation by Rev. Dr. Carol Bechtel called "All Nature Sings: The Psalms and Creation Care".  Rev. Bechtel is a Professor of Old Testament at Western Seminary in Michigan.  The presentation centering around Psalms 96, 104, and 148 with prayers and music, will consider issues relevant to local organizations with perspectives on the care of creation and Celtic spirituality.

This is a free event and questions about the event can be directed to Annapolis Presbyterian at  (410)267-8705.  Annapolis Presbyterian is located at 171 Duke of Gloucester Street in Annapolis.

On April 6, and weekends throughout April, participate in Project Clean Stream.  This is a day of service coordinated by the Alliance for the Chesapeake Bay to beautify local parks, streams and rivers, while creating awareness about the environment.  You can find a Clean Up project near you by going to Project Clean Stream  .

On May 4th, you can participate in the Run for the Bay 5k at Chesapeake Beach.  Proceeds from this race will go to the Chesapeake Bay Foundation. Even if you don't run, you can come enjoy some entertainment and support those who are running. You can find the information on registering for the race at Run for the Bay 5K .

There are so many more opportunities for you to participate and learn-- just do an internet search for Maryland Earth Day events.  What will you do this year to show your support for the environment?  How will you educate yourself about the world around you, and the impacts that we have on the Earth?
