As of February 2024, our church was certified by the Presbytery as an Earth Care Congregation.  This required the Earth Care Team, made up of Karin Bennett, Alison Binder, Coleen Smith, Amy Taylor and Marilynn Pysher, to take actions and record activities in the areas of Worship, Education, Facilities and Outreach.  A 13 page application was then completed and submitted to the Presbytery with points earned for the activities in each of the four areas.  Work is ongoing as the church must be re-certified yearly to retain Earth Care status.

Among other things, Eco Tips are put in the bulletin regularly, appropriate speakers are brought in periodically and a bulletin board has been put up in Fellowship Hall where all can share Earth Care ideas and information.

If we as Christians can't be better stewards of this beautiful earth, who can?  We encourage all to do everything possible to follow good Earth Care practices at all times.  We owe it to ourselves, our loved ones, our community, our planet and our God.
