NOTES ON THIS PRESENTATION - Feb. 2009 This general presentation is designed for a congregation that is considering membership or is a new member and looking for an educational presentation. It can be easily modified to work for different kinds of congregations. It would be best to add some images and slides that are from your state. You should view it in “Notes Page” (click on “View” in the toolbar above and select “Notes Page”) so that you can see the notes that go along with some slides that only have images. You should also view it as a “Slide Show” so you can see the various animations. When you give the presentation, if you use the “Presenter Tools” you can see these notes to tell a story while the viewers only see an image on the screen. This is a good way to present using an interesting image (or video clip!) and avoid boring people with a lot of onscreen text. There are a few slides included after the end of the presentation that I left in for anyone who wants to add them -- a little comedy is always good if you are comfortable with the delivery. You should be able to give this presentation in under 30 minutes. This web link offers some tips for good Powerpoint Presentations as well as articles on how to give an effective presentation. http://www.onenw.org/toolkit/powerpoint-best-practices/ Interfaith Power and Light To be faithful stewards of creation by responding to global warming through the promotion of energy conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy. Doing our part to solve the problem requires the kind of long-term hope and vision that is so familiar within our religious traditions. Appropriate scripture here 1.Global Warming and Energy? 2.

From Science Daily - November 17, 2005 What you do unto the least of these… The world's leading atmospheric scientists tell us that a gradual warming of our climate is underway and will continue. This poses serious risks to our economy and our environment. It poses even greater risks to many other nations, particularly poorer countries that will be far less able to cope with a changing climate and low-lying countries where sea level rise will cause significant damage.
