The mission of the Synod Green Team is to encourage the congregations, agencies and institutions of the Northern Illinois Synod to become "greener" communities by providing educational opportunities and resources for

• showing how faith and ecology are interrelated, and

• teaching pragmatic means of becoming "greener."

The synod has trained representatives in each Conference who are available to do energy audits of church buildings. If you would like more in formation about an energy audit, contact Mr. George Davis, Lutheran Outdoor Ministries Center at 815-732-2220.
