There are beautiful floodplain forests, cypress-tupelo swamps, Longleaf Pine savannahs and grasslands, American Beech-Southern Magnolia-Loblolly Pine slope forests, Village Creek, the Neches River, and much more in BTNP.

For “Big Thicket Day” the focus will be on the Neches River and Big Thicket nature, history, and community. There will be free entertainment, food, rides on the “Ivory Bill” pontoon boat, exhibitors, and more.

Oct 12, 2026: Faithful Resilience: A Study on Climate Resilience for Faith Communities

Tue, 11 Aug 2026 21:04 -0400

Faithful Resilience is a six-part weekly study on climate resilience for faith communities. The climate
crisis has arrived. Faith communities must not only react, but also prepare. Over the last decade,
hurricanes have intensified, wildfires have burnt stronger, and heat waves have baked our cities. These
events can only be expected to get worse in the next decades. Most of our faith communities are not
ready for these climate-driven disasters. Yet, the communities who will be most threatened by climate
change also have an opportunity to play a pivotal role in building resilience in their towns and cities.
Whether a faith community has a large facility, land, social capital, or something else, those assets can
be channeled into building climate resilience in preparation for the coming physical and spiritual storms
of the climate crisis. Join us for this six-week weekly exploration and consider how your faith community
can become a force for climate resilience. To learn more/register, see:
https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1994581987417. Contact Lisa Brenskelle at gcs.lrc@gmail.com for more
information.
Topics for the six-week exploration of how faith communities can become a force for climate resilience
for your community include:
Week 1: The Land We Inhabit
Week 2: The Fierce Urgency of Now
Week 3: Resilience & Restoration
Week 4: Climate Migration
Week 5: Building Resilience
Week 6: Resilient Religion/Spirituality

The book focuses on the discovery of this problem in a town where the chemicals were made, showing the harms done to community members and the perseverance of some of them, which brought this issue to light.

Oct 26, 2026: The Path of Hope: A Study on Climate Action for Faith Communities

Tue, 29 Sep 2026 19:05 -0400

You are invited to join an online discussion series built around 15-minute videos featuring
interviews with US faith leaders, representatives of climate-impacted communities from the
global South, and presentations by UN officials and other experts. The videos walk viewers
through four key climate policy issues that intersect with universal faith concerns for vulnerable
and marginalized people. The series focuses on how climate change is impacting the core
outreach programs of faith communities around the world, how those impacts will increase in
the future, and why these impacts create an imperative for people of faith to advocate for
strong US climate action. A discussion guide is included that asks participants to think deeply
about how their own local faith community’s direct service programs intersect with climate
impacts, and how knowledge and experiences gained through these programs might help to
inform climate policy. The study’s Action Center provides practical, step-by-step instructions for
advocacy activities, as well as recommended policy asks for local, state, and national leaders.
Join us! Please register on www.eventbrite.com at

Oct 26, 2026: Cool Congregations Cohort

Tue, 09 Dec 2025 21:00 -0500

4 th Monday/month, 7 p.m. central, online
Starts January 26, 2026
Faith communities of all faith/spiritual traditions are invited to join the Cool Congregations Cohort in
2026. The cohort will meet monthly online throughout the year, and the facilitator will work with you to
accomplish two goals during the course of the year: (1) develop a plan to reduce your faith community’s
carbon footprint by 50% by 2030 (in line with goals sent by climate scientists) and (2) incorporate care
for the earth into all aspects of your faith community’s life. The cohort facilitator, who has decades of
experience in “greening” of faith communities, will give individualized attention to the 10 faith
communities that participate, helping them to discover ways to both reduce their carbon footprint and
renew their faith community’s commitment to care for the earth. Participating faith communities will
also learn from each other’s experiences and support each other throughout the program. This program
is organized by the Interfaith Environmental Network of Houston, a Houston affiliate of the Texas
chapter of Interfaith Power & Light, but is open to any faith community that would like to participate,
and is not restricted to Houston- nor Texas-based faith communities. Please register your faith
community at www.eventbrite.com at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/1975020502489 (only one sign-
up per faith community, please). Contact the facilitator, Lisa Brenskelle, at gcs.lrc@gmail.com, with any
questions.
