Earth Corps Advocacy Team cont.
Towson Presbyterian Church
Towson, MD
April 2004 was designated as Earth Month to engage
all age groups in the church in activities that
provided educational, inspirational and hands-on
experiences to raise their consciousness about
Caring for God's Creation.
During Earth Month, the church planted a BayScapes
garden to retain water and to restore native habitat.
Middle and senior grades planted 53 trees at a
county park. A field trip for elementary grades
was conducted to a local preserve to provide a
firsthand experience in restoration. Worship on
April 25, Earth Sunday, included drama, music,
earthkeeping prayers, hymns, and litanies that
involved the whole congregation, particularly
children, youth, and young adults. Throughout
the month, the Earth Corps distributed a new brochure (PDF) detailing the church's historical efforts to restore
God's creation, a recommended reading list, and
stocked the children and adult libraries with
creation care books. |
