Moderator's Earth Day April 22, 2012 Announcement
>
>
> Dear Friends:
>
>
>
> This week, I'm launching a series of three playful challenges to us as
> congregations in our ongoing, committed involvement in God's healing
> of Soul, Community and Creation. Three more will appear in each of
> March and April.  These are fun, inspiring and thoughtful offerings
> from friends throughout our church community.  I encourage you to
> 'take them on' as a community of faith and invite your neighbours to
> join you.  Please post your thoughts and pictures on
>
> www.facebook.com/UnitedChurchCda, Twitter, and You Tube.

>
> We are looking forward to a grand celebration on Sunday April 22,
> Earth Day.  Congregations will be offered a special liturgy and hymn
> for your worship service that day, and in the afternoon I am hosting
> an hour-long interactive webcast where some of your experiences with
> the challenges will be featured, along with other stories of how
> churches are involved in the resurrection work of healing God's world.
> For more information and the challenges, watch the video Invitation to
> Earth Day 2012, www.youtube.com/unitedchurchofcanada and our site,
> www.united-church.ca/earthday.

> In early April, congregations can also expect to receive a gift of
> wildflower seeds - in the mail. I invite you to plant these seeds as a
> community activity in recognition of Earth Day 2012.
