Embracing Kingdom Hope for a Broken World
Green Adventures: Your Adventures
Green Adventures: a series in which we invite you into the adventures from our journey.
Last night, Tuesday, I met with Noel and Erika, two new friends who are the co-directors of the children’s ministry at Christ Lutheran Church. Not only was it great to be able to work with a church to help implement creation care theology and practices, but I had a blast telling them about why I care for God’s creation and some ways that I have done so. There is something incredibly exciting and encouraging about sharing the ways that we work to follow God and care for His creation.
So, today’s green adventure is not about my story, but about yours. It is time for you to encourage me and each other with the details from your own journeys.
Here’s how:
- Click on the blog title (“Green Adventures: Your Adventures”) above
- Scroll down to the bottom of this article and share your stories with us.
Many of us don’t typically comment on blogs, but this is your chance. Please. By sharing your story you can encourage the rest of us and allow us to see how God is moving in your life. That is important.
If you need a framework for what to share, please tackle any or all of the questions below. Or feel free to share some other relevant story which will be beneficial to the community. If you still don’t know what to share, please contact us and we will personally help you come up with something.
- What is the biggest reason that drives you to care for God’s creation?
- What is the favorite/most exciting/most enjoyable way that you implement caring for creation into your life?
- What is the oddest/funniest thing that has happened to you while trying to care for creation?
- How has Creation Hope been a help in your journey?
Finally, if you are feeling embarrassed, just remember some of my past catastrophes like when the first time I tried to bake bread.
Thank you in advance for sharing.
