Welcome to the Central Green Web page!
“The heavens are telling the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims [God’s] handiwork.” Psalm 19:1-6
We all know that “Going Green” refers to a worthy endeavor intended to save fuel, save money and “save the earth”. For Christians it is also — an act of faith.
For generations Christians held a view of the earth as God’s gift of an inexhaustible natural resource provided to sustain us. But that view has changed dramatically within our lifetime. Conservation of our precious resources is now an act of good stewardship that expresses our gratitude to God for providing the earth. It is also a humble acknowledgement that the gift of the earth is ours to manage and preserve for our children.
“Is it not enough for you to feed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the rest of your pasture? When you drink of clear water, must you foul the rest with your feet?” Ezekiel 34:18
Here at Central Congregational Church we are actively engaged in the ongoing process of considering our impact on God’s creation. Improving insulation, lighting, heating and water use are all a part of that effort. But good stewardship of the earth requires that we do all that – and more.
Events, workshops and topic teachings are planned and will be noted here. We hope that our member families and friends will extend the reach of our efforts to their homes and communities.
On these web pages you will find news about our efforts, helpful resources, and inspiration for your own journey toward better stewardship of God’s gift of the earth and all of its beauty. We hope you find helpful the materials provided on these web pages and invite you to contribute items that inform others about your Green activities.
