HONOURING EARTH DAY: APRIL 22
Earth Day: a call to care for the planet
“let us love…in truth and action” (1 John 3;18)
“We are called to be the church…to live with respect in Creation” (UCC: A New Creed)
Here are some ideas:
Plant sunflowers for Ukraine, and pray for Peace in the world.
Share book titles that you have found that speak to the care of creation (there are so many these days, for children, youth and adults). Send titles in to Happenings!
Host others (in person or online) to share Faithful Climate Conversations. The United Church of Canada partners with 35 Faith communities in a coalition called For The Love of Creation, advocating for climate justice.

A Blessing Prayer to say as we plant this spring, in our pots, planters or gardens:
Blessed are You, God of planting and harvest, birthing and growth. Through the gifts of creation, You care for all. As this season of seeding begins, increase in us the awareness of our inter-dependence with all creation. Bless the land and waters, bless our care for them that we might see in them Your hand, and give You praise. Amen.
Maureen Scott Kabwe and Church In The World Committee
