Interfaith Partners for the Chesapeake Bay has issued an invitation to congregations throughout the Bay Watershed to join the more than 200 other congregations who have answered the call to form Green Teams in their communities.

Interfaith Partners will be hosting a three-part, online Faithfull Green Leaders Training Program starting October 14 from 7:00 to 8:30 p.m.  

The other training sessions will be held on October 21 and 28.
