Creation Sunday
March 29th, 2007 by Mollie
Earth Day, April 22nd, is coming up soon. This year my church is participating in Creation Sunday (which happens to take place on Sunday, April 22 this year, but is on whatever Sunday falls closest to Earth Day). Kendall and I are helping to organize it. This is the first time we or our church has done anything like this so we are definitely feeling our way through.
The idea behind it is that we believe that God created this Earth and that we are supposed to be good stewards of that creation. We have taken that to mean that we are responsible for the health and well being of that creation and that it is also something to be greatly celebrated and enjoyed.
This might be something that interests some of you and I wanted to let you know about it.
If any of you have ideas that you would like to share I would of course love to hear them.

Great idea! I’m gonna suggest it for our church!

Though our church, unfortunately, is not to a point where the leaders/elders/pastors think about the environment - so we won’t be doing a sermon about Creation Sunday - however, I am in charge of the infants-preschool rooms, so we are celebrating Earth Day with the little ones!
I wrote curriculum for it (nothing amazing, I promise you) because I couldn’t find anything out there like it (especially for so young). In the next couple days (hopefully!), I am going to post a copy of it on my blog for others to use. So if you’re interested, stay tuned!

Megan,
This is definitely a thing that is slow moving among churches and Christians. I am so glad that you are going to be doing something for Earth Day with the kiddos and thank you for sharing your curriculum for it!
Have a great day!

[...] This is the slightly longer version of the “10 small changes you can make for the benefit of creation” list I made for my church back in April for Creation Sunday. It has some good and interesting information in it so I thought that I would go ahead and share it with you guys. [...]
