Members and friends of Nacoochee Presbyterian are involved in a number of peace, justice, and environmental issues — speaking out, taking action, and working for positive change in our community and our world.
In March we all have the opportunity to make our voices heard by submitting comments to the EPA about their upcoming updates to soot pollution standards.
