The Green Sanctuary Task Force is issuing a new challenge to the congregation to live out our 7th Principle through carpooling to church Sunday, Jan. 29, 10 a.m. Let’s double our number of participants! Because it is a single service, and important, we expect a crowd. To encourage you further, we will be raffling off a Whole Foods gift card to all carpool riders and drivers. Family members don’t count unless you have a full car!
There are only 120 parking spaces in our lots and around the church and more than 400 adult members, so carpooling may be the way to overcome the #1 limit on our church’s growth (parking space), as well as to promote energy conservation. During three Sundays in the fall we averaged nearly two persons per car, a significant improvement from two people every fifth car in the spring. More than 50 individuals participated. (Note: overflow parking is sometimes available on Sundays at UVA’s Culbreth Parking Garage, but you have to walk a few blocks.) For help finding a ride or a rider, stop by our table in the Social Hall or consult the membership directory.
