The
Creation
Care Ministry at Maple Springs is about growing an attitude of
caring for God’s awesome Creation, and then translating that attitude of caring
into intentional acts of caring
and justice. Through these acts, we are witnessing our love of God
to others – showing in a very visible way that we value what God gave us,
enough to take care of it!
Psalm 24:1-2…The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it; for he founded it upon the seas and established it upon the waters.
