They will be embarking upon a journey of reading Scripture, learning about the church, and growing in their faith. They will appreciate your prayers and support as they learn, grow, share faith, and have fun. They will be involved in a variety of activities in and out of the church including service projects, visits to other churches, weekly meetings, and an end-of-program retreat. These youth will be received as members of the church at the end of the program. We look forward to this chance to explore the ministry of Jesus Christ. ***************************************************************************** ! !"#$%&!'()*+,*-%! .*(/&!012345!3406! 78(-%!9()-:;%)(8*<!=&$(/&! >;?! ! ! ! !

Another .9% is saline water from sources other than the oceans such as the Great Salt Lake in Utah therefore it is undrinkable. That means of all the water on (DUWKRQO\LVIUHVKZDWHURU³GULQNDEOH´ZDWHU+RZPXFKRIWKLVLVDYDLODEOHWRODQGDQLPDOV"2f this 2.5% (the percentage of global freshwater) 68.7% is tied up in the ice caps (Arctic and Antarctic) and in glaciers. This percentage is changing as the polar ice caps are rapidly melting but they melt into the RFHDQV VR WKH\ EHFRPH ³FRQWDPLQDWHG´ Zith the salt. (The dilution of the ocean water with this polar freshwater has the potential of changing the ocean currents such as the Gulf Stream and bringing drastic weather changes.) 30.1 % of the freshwater on Earth is ground water so difficult to reach. Therefore of the 2.5% of global water which is freshwater, 1.2 % is surface water such as that found in lakes and rivers. Most human and animal water comes from rivers. The total percentage of drinkable water on Earth is .77% of all the water found on the Earth. The average American uses between 100 and 176 gallons of water per day while the average African uses 5 gallons per day. Each day 2.5 billion gallons of water are used to LUULJDWHWKHZRUOG¶VJROIFRXUVHV7KHDPRXQWRIZDWHULWZRXOGWDNe per day to support 4.7 billion people is 2.5 billion gallons. How can each of us conserve water?
