Care of the planet

Holy holy holy

One writer suggests that every time you pick up a piece of trash along the road, say to yourself: “Holy, holy, holy is the house of God.” As people of faith, we’re called to be responsible stewards of God’s creation: the soil, air, water, and all of God’s living creatures.

Stewardship of God’s creation

Our congregation is taking steps toward “going green,” doing our best to take care of God’s creation with some concrete steps:

  • Disposable waste is being reduced through elimination of paper goods from congregational meals.
  • An energy audit in our church building has provided information for good stewardship of resources. >> Energy audit in your home
  • Green tips encourage St. Paul people to recycle, reuse, buy locally, and more.

ELCA statement

The Evangelical Lutheran Church in America encourages people of faith to take up the challenge of earth-keeping. Read Bishop Mark Hanson’s message and find helpful links to other church resources.
