Earth Care Congregation
Congregations within the PC(USA) that are passionate about being good stewards of God's creation can become certified Earth Care Congregations by taking the Earth Care Pledge, and completing projects in worship, facilities, education, and outreach. Each year, congregations must get re-certified every year. The Presbyterian Church became an Earth Care Congregation in 2021. Learn about some of the projects we are completing on this page.
A Sustainable Lifestyle
"Sustainable" has become a buzz word in recent years, and many of us may want to have our homes and diets be more sustainable, but have a difficult time knowing where to begin. The button below has some resources and ideas for more sustainable living--whether you feel you can make little changes or you're ready to do a lot. It also has some reading and viewing suggestions to spark more ideas.
During the Season of Creation (September 1 – October 4), we join our sisters and brothers in the ecumenical family in a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation through celebration, conversion, and commitment together. This year, in addition to exploring creation themes in worship, we will start each Sunday in September with an opportunity for prayer and reflection together outside and offer a community Blessing of the Animals alongside First Fridays downtown. For more information, including an invitation to an online Prayer Service for Creation Day on September 1, visit www.seasonofcreation.org.
