Caring for All Creation
By the Waters
"Experts say that in order to provide water, basic health,
and nutrition for everyone in the world, it would cost around $20 billion,
which is how much Americans spend in one year on ice cream (see I Timothy
6:17-19)."
~ Rob Bell from "Rich 013"
The By the Waters portion of the Caring for All Creation series is built around a blessing of the waters, a special worship service, and a personal action pledge requested from each member of a congregation.
-
Earth Ministry provides tools for organizing a "By the Waters Sunday" event, either a river clean-up and restoration at a local waterbody.
-
Earth Ministry provides By the Waters worship resources to assist congregations in creating a celebratory, meaningful worship experience. These resources include prayers, sermon aids, suggested hymns, and more.
-
Earth Ministry provides "personal action pledge cards" - a pledge that congregants fill out as a way of committing to making more joyful and just food choices.
-
Earth Ministry provides related educational resources for children.
By the Waters was co-produced by Earth Ministry and American Rivers.
