Brethren Witness - Care for Creation - Creation Care Congregations

What?	The Creation Care Congregation program is an opportunity for congregations to make stewardship of creation a regular part of their worship and witness.
Why?	God's creation is straining beneath the practices of humankind. Consider: Biologists call this the Sixth Great Extinction period—and the first to be caused not by an outside force but by one of the species, namely humankind North Americans consume their weight in materials every day, leading to the generation of enormous quantities of waste and rapid depletion of the earth's bounty Indicators around the globe point to a rapid warming of the earth due to carbon dioxide emissions and the subsequent "greenhouse effect"
How?	The program provides ideas for: how individuals can make daily decisions to care for creation; how church facilities can be used more efficiently; using curriculum and worship resources to raise awareness of the biblical basis of stewardship of creation; being active in sharing views with elected representatives as key environmental legislation is introduced; opportunities to take part in workcamps and learning tours that provide education and action.
When?	Now! As soon as the form is sent to the Brethren Witness office of the General Board, you'll receive the materials you need to begin.
