The Care for Creation Commission of the Episcopal Diocese of Central Pennsylvania, in collaboration with the Interfaith Coalition for the Environment, Religion and Society Center, and St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral, will hold workshops designed to help congregations conserve energy and reduce the monthly bills for their facilities.

The workshops, which are open to all faiths and denominations, will be held on October 6, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., and on October 7, from 1 p.m. to 5 p.m., at St. Stephen's Episcopal Cathedral, 221 North Front St., Harrisburg.

The workshop will feature practical advice by consultant Andy Rudin who will offer specific and concrete approaches for reducing energy bills, exhibits by local companies that offer energy-saving products and services, and a tour of St. Stephen's energy efficient, "green" school building.

There is a $20 registration fee, and checks can be made payable to the Diocese of Central Pennsylvania. The workshops are limited to the first 100 registrants.

Those interested should RSVP by September 28 to Anne Yellott at ajyellott@paonline.com or the Dioceses of Central Pennsylvania, P.O. Box 11937, Harrisburg, PA 17108.
