Do you have an affection for nature? Would you like to learn more about the environment from a spiritual perspective? Are you interested to engage with your fellow parishioners in fun and refreshing ways, while making an impact in the care of God’s creation?
The mission of the Green Team will be to reveal the connection our congregation and community has with God’s presence in the natural world, by fostering a culture of environmental reflection, engagement and stewardship.
As we honor Earth Day, St. Matthew is forming a Green Team. The mission of the Green Team will be to reveal the connection our congregation and community has with God’s presence in the natural world, by fostering a culture of environmental reflection, engagement and stewardship. Initially the Green Team will focus in three areas:
- Team organization
- Planning events for environmental engagement, education and volunteerism, within our congregation and community
- Outlining a church “Sustainability Plan”
To join the team or obtain additional information, please contact Brian Lestini or sign-up on the bulletin board or online.
