April 2021 - Caring for Creation is Justice Work! 

When we act interdependently and in solidarity with creation, we do justice. We serve and keep the earth, trusting its bounty can be sufficient for all, and sustainable.

Commit to one act of caring for God's creation this month! The weekly suggestions...

4/4 - Pick up trash in your neighborhood
4/11 - Stop "wish-cycling"! Contact your recycler to find out what should go in your recycling bin (every hauler is different!)
4/18 - Learn about the importance of clean water on Weds at 6:30pm via Zoom 
4/25 - Plan to plant native plants in your garden which require fewer chemicals to thrive
