New water stewardship resource makes a splash:
Water’s sacredness to Christians is demonstrated over 500 times in the Bible from the moment God parted the waters to create the sky and our blessed waterways to the holy sacrament of Baptism. We also rely on rivers, lakes, streams, and oceans for recreation, work, nourishment, bathing, and many other needs. Water is God’s gift that sustains all life on Earth.
Join churches in caring for the precious gift of water with Water Stewards: A Toolkit for Congregational Care of Local Watersheds produced by the National Council of Churches Eco-Justice Programs. Copies can be downloaded at www.nccecojustice.org/waterbounce.html. This resource contains an interactive adult education curriculum with ideas for worship and action to promote good water stewardship.
