The creation group functions not only to create awareness, but also to affirm biblical creation care – important as many in the church may regard the issue as important, but are ‘unsure what it looks like’.
We have a newsletter, where articles that describe the functional beauty of God’s creation, and also good news stories relating to conservation are the focus.
We have presentations on creation care, generally at the inter-church scale with an apologetic focus.
We have 1-2 field trips per year. We have nature reserves nearby as well as Christian farmers in the church with a conservation bent. Families are attracted by ‘a tech-free day in nature’. We have a walk, make observations and have a short creation care devotion.
Creation care activities can build the community of the church in special ways.
