10 Ways to care for God's creation
We are all caretakers of creation. Watch a United Methodist Creation Care video to learn about our call to be involved in the well-being of our environment, and how each of us can do our part in the shared responsibility of creation care.
WHAT
Beginning with an inspiring online worship gathering, we will celebrate the beauty of creation and confront the challenges posed by climate change. Through prayers, songs, and reflections, we will acknowledge the harm inflicted on our environment and commit to acts of restorative justice in our communities. Following the live webinar, participants will embark on meaningful actions locally or at regional host locations, ranging from conservation efforts to educational initiatives.
