Caring for Creation | Karen McElfish

What this episode covers

The United Methodist Church realizes and affirms the responsibility of every United Methodist to care for God’s creation. We are called to participate in the redemption of individuals and all of humanity and the healing of the Creation itself. Therefore, ministries encouraging care for God’s creation are significant in our mission as United Methodists. The Virginia Annual Conference began a Green Church Initiative Program in 2009. MountOlivet was one of the first Green Churches in the Conference. As part of the Initiative, Green Churches are urged to celebrate Caring For God's Creation in worship at least once a year.
