Caring for Creation
Sunday November 16

Our Caring for Creation forum focused on sharing the Episcopal Church’s call to see all living things as a gift and to honor and protect them. For God’s sake, we will adopt practical ways of reducing our climate impact and living more humbly and gently on Earth.

Specific practices recommended for congregation/ ministry:

  • Perform energy audit and set energy consumption goals
  • Reduce energy consumption and waste, including eliminating disposable plastic bottles
  • Use carbon offsets for travel
  • Responsibly steward ministry owned lands
  • Make conscious food choices
