Earth Day is April 22. Celebrate God’s good creation on a Sunday near that date (which falls on Good Friday this year).
The National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Program produces excellent Earth Day Sunday resources each year. This year’s theme is “Where Two or More are Gathered: Eco-Justice as Community.” Download the resource, which explores the importance of community and shares information on how churches can work in community for eco-justice in the areas of food, water, and air. Materials include sermon starters, a bulletin insert, and ideas for church action.
You can download the Presbyterian co-branded version, which includes information on and contact information for PC(USA) Environmental Ministries and PC(USA) Office of Public Witness.
Please email me at katie.holmes@pcusa.org to let me know about your church’s plans to celebrate Earth Day Sunday. Read about Presbyterian Churches’ 2010 Earth Day Sunday events.
