Creation Care
O LORD, how manifold are your works! In wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures. Psalm 104:24
Oh God, Creator of heaven and earth, you allowed life to evolve, and you love the natural world: each plant and animal, each mountain and river, each ray of sunshine, wave of water, and breath of fresh air. In our beginning, you commanded us to care for your creation; open our eyes to see the goodness of the Earth; train our hearts to respect all creation as a gift from you; and shape our lives to behave in ways that are loving toward all creatures great and small, for you, God, made them all. Amen.
The Team
The Creation Care Team meets monthly on the 2nd Sunday from 11:15 to 12:15 in the library room. We have compiled two lists of environmental concerns we would like to address in both our church and in our community. These action items include issues and projects around recycling, care of our rivers and woodlands, declining biodiversity and care of all animals. We chose the book “How Can I Care for Creation?” by Stephanie McDyre Johnson as our guide. If you would like a copy of the book, there are still three available in the church office. Cost is $15.
