Just wanted to let you know that our church did our own version of the&#8221;Stirring the Waters&#8221; event that you did at last summer&#8217;s ELCA World Hunger Leadership Gathering. We had so much fun and it was so well received.

In addition to the ELCA website, I found some great resources on the Presbyterians for Restoring Creation (PRC) website (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.prcweb.org\/\">http:\/\/www.prcweb.org\/<\/a>) including a bottled water quiz. The answer to the last question includes this fact:&#8221;The UN estimates that if the world took half of what it now spends onbottled water ($100 billion per year) and invested it in water infrastructure and treatment, everyone in the world could have access to clean drinking water.&#8221; Isn&#8217;t that amazing?<\/p>\n<p><em>[Kris and the Creation Care Team made good use of the new ELCA World Hunger water bulletin&#8230;&#8221;<\/em>Let justice roll down like waters.&#8221; <em>It&#8217;s available to <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/tinyurl.com\/waterbulletin\"><em>order<\/em><\/a><em> from Augsburg Fortress.
