Gather with other Christians to learn about creation and climate care

Humanity is facing three interconnected crises: biodiversity loss, climate change, and poverty and inequality. Many of us struggle to find our role in addressing these crises. We struggle with theological questions, practical problems, and simply loving our places well. 

Will you join us at Consider the Lilies, a conference to connect and resource Christians in the great call to creation care?

We hope to see you there!

March 15, 2025

Welcome and Refreshments

9:15 – 10:30 am

Session #1: Talking Creation Care at your Church

How do you talk about creation care and climate change in a church context? How might we talk to the children and youth in our communities about this topic? What are some theological considerations? This workshop will tackle these questions about engaging minds on creation care.

Session #2: Taking Action with Hands-on Projects
Beth Downey-Sawatsky, Nora Hogman, Benjamin Verkerk, Peter Sawatsky

Sometimes the easiest way to start caring for creation is to do a hands-on project. This workshop will bring together various voices in the church to share about projects they have done, from community gardens, to green building techniques, to solar panels, and more.

10:30 – 11:00 am

Break for refreshments

11:00 am – Noon

Session #3: Worship and Liturgy

Join the A Rocha Manitoba team for a short worship service demonstrating how you can incorporate care of creation into the rhythms and practices of your church community.
