The Church Council adopted a Call to Action from the Mission and Justice Board in the winter of 2021. Please celebrate Earth Day Friday, April 22 by considering how we can act spiritually, in justice and sustainability as a congregation.
- Spiritually – Within all creation, we can best hear God’s heartbeat by caring for wild places, our town, neighborhoods, back yards, and families.
- Justice – We are called to change societal systems that cause our neighbors’ poverty, injustice, and environmental damage.
- Sustainability – At the heart of sustainability is meeting our needs in the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet theirs.
