Our theme for Sunday is Convenient Truth.  This is obviously a play on the title of the documentary An Inconvenient Truth hosted by Al Gore.  The Bible speaks to us of an ancient tradition of respecting the gifts of the earth.  Long before the environmental movement, the disciples of Jesus were calling the world to respect and restore God's creation.  The ability to do that is much more convenient than we think.  Visit http://carbonfootprint.com/ to prepare for Sunday.
