What do you think of when you think of the earth?
Do you think about the colours of the trees in this season on autumn? Do you think about beauty?
Do you think about harms that have been done to our planet? Pollution?
Do you think about faith – perhaps the words of A New Creed echo – we are called to live with respect in creation.
This is the season on Creation in the church year. It is a good time for us to reflect on all those things – and caring for the earth will be a part of our monthly ‘Check in and Chat.’ If you would like to join us on ZOOM tomorrow morning from 9 to 10, here is the link:
https://us02web.zoom.us/j/7538449219
or by phone: 204 272 7920
Meeting ID: 753 844 9219
And, if one of the ways in which you are trying to live with respect in creation is in the partnership that TMUC has with TruEarth, today is a bonus day.
Orders can be placed here.
