St. Boniface, Lindenhurst and St. Thomas, Farmingdale have joined together to collaborate on a grant called Care for Creation: REFLECT, RENEW, RESPOND. Using the strengths, assets, mission and key opportunities of each parish, our goal is to to support and expand our churches’ loving, liberating, life-giving relationship with God, with each other and with Creation. With this grant, we will heed the calls to:
REFLECT (Life Giving) – changing our habits and choices to live more simply, humbly and gently on Earth and in community with one another.
RENEW (Loving) – sharing stories of concern for the Earth and connect others to care.
RESPOND (Liberating) – standing with those most vulnerable to environmental degradation and climate change.
One aspect of this grant is to create the opportunity for learning ways to experience how to REFLECT, RENEW AND RESPOND - to pause, pray and see beyond ourselves. We would like to open this opportunity to your parish as well.
Join us on Wednesday, July 15, 2020 on a Zoom Meeting from 7- 8 pm as we explore meaningful ways to promote self-reflection, renewal, and re-connection within ourselves, in each other and the natural wonders God has abundantly provided all around us. Hands-on experiences will be offered.
For additional information, and to RSVP, please email: creationcareli@gmail.com
Please RSVP no later than July 13th to receive the ZOOM ID information.
A Flyer is below. Please feel free to share with your parish!
