New Adult Formation Class
Beginning Sunday, April 28, 9:30 AM
FOR THE CARE OF CREATION: Transforming our concern into concrete acts that are "Loving... Liberating... Life-Giving..."
At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellar space, galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses, and this fragile earth, our island home.
By your will they were created and have their being.
The Holy Eucharist, Prayer C, The Book of Common Prayer, p 370.
The Episcopal Church (institutionally) has promised to place the care of God's Creation at the heart of our common life. Throughout the Great Fifty Days of the Easter Season-the time we most intentionally revel and reflect on God's work to renew, unite, and resurrect-the Creation Care Ministry of Saint Paul's offers this safe time and space each Sunday in which to gather and through the facilitated practice of prayer, reflection, and conversation, to transform our concerns for "our island home" into concrete Pledges for the Care of Creation. Explore this movement and the pledge at the Episcopal Church website.
https://www.episcopalchurch.org/creation-care/pledge.
At each gathering we will share insights and concerns. We will pray. We will build relationships that strengthen our bonds in Christ and sustain one another in community. As individuals and as the body of Christ, we will come to know more about what we can do to love creation, to liberate it, and to be life-giving in the world.
