Earth Week Update #5 - Stewardship


Think about your relationship to this Earth which has been your home, and will continue to be for you and your descendents. What will be your own personal “stewardship legacy” regarding this magical and amazing sphere? Will you be a part of leaving it cleaner and more abundant, or will you be a part of the continuing degradation of its water, air, soil and other resources?

Together we can make a difference. Earth car is not something for someone else to do someplace else. It is for us where we are, at home, at work, at church and wherever we go.

The General Board of Church and Society of the United Methodist Church
The Economic and Environmental Justice Program calls the church and society into a greater faithfulness to the biblical vision of wholeness and justice for all of God’s creation. From global warming and environmental racism to worker justice and poverty eradication, the program seeks to restore right relationships among ourselves, others and the created world.

Earth Ministry
Earth Ministry works in partnership with individuals and congregations to respond to this great moral challenge through education, modeling sustainable lifestyle choices, and organizing for social change through environmental advocacy.
