Earth Stewardship
Mission Statement
This is your Invitation to Earth Care Ministry!
If you share our sense of urgency to help in slowing climate change damage, and if you believe, as a faithful follower of Christ, that we can have a greater impact working together, please join us. We welcome new input and ideas. We keep our committee footprint small and our efforts in the community, large. Actions will always speak louder than words in our challenge to mitigate the adverse climate changes that are bring harm to our land and people.
Thanks to over 40 volunteers, of all ages, the residents surrounding Attwood Park in south Lansing will now be able to enjoy 20 new trees on their walks through the scenic setting. The tree planting occurred as a part of Peoples' Earth Day Week focus. Several different species of balled and bur lapped trees including White Pine, Concolor Fir, Serbian and Norway Spruce and Eastern Hemlock found new homes in the park area. People Churches Earth Stewardship Committee (ESC) coordinated the tree planting. Our congregation partnered with the City of Lansing Parks Dept, Ingham County Land Bank, Ingham County Forestry, Michigan Interfaith Power and Light-Capital Area Chapter, First Presbyterian Church of Holt, Okemos Community Church, Islamic Center of Lansing, HDR Engineering, and Michigan State University Center for Community Engaged Learning for the event.
