Join us at 7 pm at St. Paul's United Methodist Church on Foulk Road

We have an exciting year ahead and look forward to exploring with you how we can share the many gifts, talents, and resources of DeIPL, its churches and members
with each other and with our communities.

We will have “turbo-talks” -5 minute samplings on:
Energy, climate change and sea level rise
Saving lives with a Delaware heat health warning system
Wind power for your home is not a lot of hot air
“To frack or not to frack, that is the question”
Ethical eating and climate change
How to do dinner and an environmental movie

A speakers' bureau is only one way to share our gifts and talents. There are many others including professional energy evaluations of houses of worship.
Come brainstorm with us.
