Plant a Seed on April 23, 2017
Held on the Sunday following Earth Day, Good Seed Sunday is a time for Christians across Canada to honour the Creator as they celebrate and care for creation. We invite you to make use of our FREE downloadable resources. From sermons to Sunday school curriculum to ideas on practical creation care projects, A Rocha’s Good Seed Sunday resources can help kick start a creation care movement in your church and neighbourhood.
I believe in my heart that faith in Jesus Christ can and will lead us beyond an exclusive concern for the well-being of other human beings to the broader concern for the well-being of birds in our backyards, the fish in our rivers, and every living creature on the face of the earth.
God writes the Gospel not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars.
To drive to extinction something [God] has created is wrong. He has a purpose for everything… We Christians have a responsibility to take the lead in caring for the earth.
The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it.
God may well prefer the sound of spring peepers, but I have to believe there was joy in heaven when the first human being looked at the sky and said, ‘Thank you for all this.
If we learn to love the earth, we will find labyrinths, gardens, fountains, and precious jewels! A whole new world will open itself to us. We will discover what it means to be truly alive.
