The Earth Is the Lord’s ST. DENIO 11.11.11.11 (“Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise”) Carolyn Winfrey Gillette, 2001Welsh Folk HymnTune: Welsh Folk Hymn, Adapted in Caniadau y Cyssegr, 1839Text: Copyright © 2001 by Carolyn Winfrey Gillette.  All rights reserved.Email: bcgillette@comcast.netChurch  “The earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof.” Creation reminds us, O God, of your love. By grace we are learning, as year leads to year, We’re called to be stewards, your caretakers here. Your rainforests nurture the world that we share. Your wetlands give animals shelter and care. Your coral reefs cradle the life of the sea. You’ve shown us, in love, what your good world can be. Too often, O God, we abuse your good earth. We fail to remember its beauty and worth. We take from creation much more than we need, We threaten your world through indifference and greed. May we be good stewards of all that you give, Protecting creation wherever we live. May we be a church that renews and restores And lovingly cares for this earth that is yours.

Join us after the service for Intergenerational Stewardship Activities. 

Regular Sunday School will start up again in the Fall.

Vision Statement -  As followers of Jesus Christ, we are a community of faith empowered by the Holy Spirit, seeking to love God with all our hearts, minds, souls, and strength, and to love others as ourselves.
