Merry Lea offered a faith-based weekend event for undergraduates from neighboring colleges focused on the economic piece of sustainability. Rachel Lamb of Young Evangelicals for Climate Action and Brian Sauder of the Chicago-based nonprofit Faith in Place served as keynote speakers. Workshops covered personal finances, stewardship investing, and how to create communities where people are accountable to each other.
In the workshop pictured, students who had attended Merry Lea’s Sustainability Leadership Semester in 2014 described their experiences.
Plenty of fun time was also included in the weekend. A warm day made the broomball court slushy, offering traction and a lightning game.
