Creation, Church, and You: Earthkeeping Practically Speaking
March 30, 2019 9:30 am to 3:30 pm
Bethlehem Lutheran Church, Brainerd, Minnesota
Sponsored by the EcoFaith Network, NE Synod/ELCA
Hosted by the Creation Care Team of Bethlehem Lutheran Church
Caring for creation is important to everything we do as church. We don’t need to tell you that our earth is in a growing crisis that is already endangering human beings, as well as plant and animal life, and the soil and water that sustains life itself. Climate change and ecosystem degradation is accelerating. We know that we are called to be stewards of God’s wondrous, intricately interdependent creation. The question is not whether to be those stewards, but how? How do we integrate what is actually integral to the very Gospel for the healing of God’s world?
The one-day EcoFaith Summit will provide individual insight and equip congregations to integrate care of creation throughout all congregational activities, including worship, education, congregational life, building and grounds, and community engagement.
The day-long Summit will include a keynote presentation by Pastor David Carlson, D.Min. from Gloria Dei Lutheran in Duluth and followed by practical break-out sessions in the various areas of congregational life with examples and testimonies from other congregations and resources to assist your congregation is starting or enhancing creation care at your church. The day will conclude with a vibrant earth-honoring worship. Click Here for the Agenda.

Full cost: Early Bird Special (until March 15) $10 per person, $25 for a congregational group of three or more
