The Interfaith Partners For The Chesapeake Bay will hold an April 3 Faith and Waters Restoration Forum at the Oakland Mills Interfaith Center in Columbia, Maryland from 5:30 to 8:00 p.m.

This special gathering will bring together faith communities from across the region to connect, share resources, and collaborate on environmental action.

Dr. Katharine Hayhoe, a world-renowned climate scientist and Chief Scientist for The Nature Conservancy, will deliver a powerful keynote on “Living Our Values in a Changing Climate.”

You won’t want to miss this opportunity to hear from one of the most sought-after voices on faith and climate!

The evening will also feature remarks from Timothy Lattimer, who will welcome us to Howard County on behalf of the Howard County Office of Community Sustainability, sharing insights on local environmental initiatives and how faith communities can help restore our shared waterways.

Participants can also join regional hub gatherings and will have time to network over light refreshments.
