Creation Care<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

As one of our core values we take seriously our responsibility to care for the earth and all God\u2019s creation. One way in which we carry out our responsibility is to avoid using disposable products for church meals.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A small orchard are part of our church property where trees are tended and fruit and maple sap are gathered.  Wooded trails are available for walking and meditation. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
