Worship and Fellowship
Worship
In worship, we celebrate God’s grace and glory in Creation and will declare that God calls us to participate in the redemption of the world by cherishing, protecting, and restoring Creation.

Fellowship
In Fellowship, we can seek opportunities for ourselves and our children to learn more about the wonders of Creation, the threats posed by human beings to the survival of Creation and the possibilities of our participating in God’s redemption and justice.
Make a commitment to experiencing God's Creation with members of your church community. Go on intergenerational hikes or canoe trips. As a church engage in service through Bay cleanups. Or share a sustainable meal with members of your church family by having a local food pot luck.
