Bees play an important role in our creation story as pollinators and participants in the global ecosystem.

Is Your Church a “Green” Church?

The UCC has used titles such as Earthwise, Creation Justice, Green Justice, Earth Ministry, and Green Faith all to ask the question of how your congregation is leaning into being good stewards of the Earth. While the title doesn’t matter, the work does.
