Find a place where you can be quiet with your thoughts. Close your eyes and breathe deeply for several minutes, perhaps repeating a word or phrase to separate yourself from the activities of the day. Think about the sources of the energy you and your family use in a typical day:

• How dependent are you on non-renewable sources of energy?
• What forms of green energy do you currently use?
• Are there ways you can develop cooperative partnerships concerning energy issues? In your congregation, with a local elementary school, or in the local community?

Allow your own sense of reverence, wonder, and awe to be present as you lead this session.
