Good to Know:
An Episcopal priest worked with Alcoholics Anonymous
founder Bill Wilson to create the foundations of The Twelve Steps. Episcopal
Churches have long been a welcoming space for recovery groups, and our most
recent General Convention re-committed our church to end complicity in issues
of substance abuse and employ our church as a community of healing for those in
recovery. Source: https://cor-satx.org/article/10-things-i-wish-everyone-knew-about-the-episcopal-church/
From the Green Team:
Darin Underhill, an inspector with the West Fargo Fire
Department, said every homeowner should test smoke detectors at least once a
month, learn and teach how to use a fire extinguisher and plan emergency exits
in case of a fire. "Be familiar with the fire extinguisher. Have one in
your house. Know where it's at, make sure it's in working order. And when in
doubt, call 911. We'd rather be there and not be needed than be too late. So
don't be afraid," Underhill said. He added that lithium batteries should
not be thrown in a normal trash bin and should be taken to a local household
hazardous waste facility.
