April 22nd is officially Earth Day.  We celebrate Earth Sunday this coming Sunday, April 18th.  Our music and prayers will echo the themes of gratitude for creation, our repentance for the ways we have failed to love our planet, and the challenge and hope that we can always do better.

Much of the discussion around Climate Change has been overshadowed this past year by the pandemic.  At the same time, the pause in "life as usual" has shown us that there are steps we can take to mitigate the impact of our selfish and poor choices of the past.

The gospel is good news - for all of creation.

Take some time this Earth Week to ponder your own involvement in being called to healthy and loving stewardship of the earth.
