Work of 1,000 Screening and discussion with Marion Stoddart and Sue Edwards

Join us for the “Wednesdays at Grace” Green Faith Lenten Environmental Education Series taking place every Wednesday evening from 6:45-8pm from March 16 to April 13 at Grace Episcopal Church in Medford, MA. Dinner will be served at 6:00pm.

Come watch a 30-minute film about Marion Stoddart and meet her as we discover together how we might turn our vision of change into a reality.

Marion Stoddart, a young mother of three, lived next to one of the nation's most polluted rivers. At a low point in her own life, she took on its clean-up as a personal cause-for herself, for the community, and for future generations. She had no special skills or training, but what she did have was a vision for what was possible. And, an unwavering resolve to save the dying river. Marion's historic success in cleaning up the Nashua River-recognized by the United Nations, National Geographic, and chronicled in books and now a movie-is an inspirational lesson about the impact one person can have in the world.
