• Eco Palms for Palm Sunday

If your church is ordering palms this year. Think about ordering Eco palms rather than the traditional palms that destroy forests and communities. In the eco-palm system, workers are trained in how to trim branches so trees stay healthy. The palms are harvested in ecologically sensitive ways and and the profits go to help schools and other needed projects where they are harvested.  A good cause and very appropriate for Palm Sunday. To order Eco palms go to http://www.ecopalms.org/ . Note: the deadline to order is March 9, so don't delay!
