Help Us Print Less Paper
April 10, 2024Westminster is an Earth Care Congregation, and our Care of Creation Team helps us look for ways to use less of the earth’s resources in our life together. We print a LOT of worship bulletins every week, and many of these pieces of paper go in recycling after one use (or no use!)
In an effort to use fewer trees, ink, and energy each week, we want to hear from you! If you or your household are willing to receive most of your information about worship order via screens or email only, please submit this form to reduce our printing count by one or more. Thank you!
