Earth Day Celebration

Earth Day: April 22nd

This year we recongnized Earth Day a day early, since school is not in session on April 22nd due to Good Friday. We understand that, as Christians, we are called by God to be good stewards of His amazing creation.

            Earthkeeping: Our Responsibility

CARE-TAKERS: We are care-takers. "The Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to till and keep it," Genesis 2:15. The Hebrew words shamar and abad, usually translated as "till and keep" in this verse, could be just as accurately translated as "serve and preserve."

STEWARDS: We are stewards of God's earth, ruling over that which is not ours. "You [God] made humans ruler over the works of your hands; you put everything under our feet: All flocks and herds, and the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas," Ps 8:6-8.

    We must remember,  “THE EARTH IS THE LORD'S AND EVERYTHING IN IT…” Psalm 24:1

                                 Humanity must keep the creation just as God keeps us.

Below is a picture of the "Edible Earth" that I served to each 6th grade class for a special little treat.
