Care for God’s Creation. The Gospel teaches us that there are two greatest commandments: love God and love your neighbor. (Mark 12:28-34). What does care for the environment have to do with this?
Join Faith in Action Thursday June 29, 7-8:30pm in the Health Ministry room when we will use mind mapping to explore connections between these 2 great commandments and care for earth, air, and water. Then share ideas on how we, as Christians, can take action, in small or large ways.

A prayer, from the Season of Creation 2022 Celebration Guide:
Loving God, who hears every voice, knows each cry of injustice, and is attentive to the suffering of the earth: teach us to listen. Bring healing to our lives, that we may protect the world and not prey on it, that we may listen to the world you have created and not close ourselves off from it. Reveal to us the ways in which we have failed to hear your voice in how we treat the earth.
