February 2020 – Earthkeepers Training

December 17, 2019 Leave a Comment

Do you feel a vocational call on your life to care for God’s creation because you are a disciple of Jesus Christ?  Is your faith compelling you to DO SOMETHING about the problems the earth is facing?  Do you see yourself as a leader in this creation care movement within the United Methodist Church?  If so, then Earthkeepers may be for you.

Earthkeepers is a creation care ministry of the United Methodist Church designed to provide training for individuals just like you to empower you to get involved in your community and local congregation for the sake of God’s creation.

Training consists primarily of the theological basis for why creation matters to Christians, and community organizing skills training designed to help you define and plan a project that you can carry out in your local context.

February 8th: 9:00 am to 5:00 pm and
February 9th: 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm

Trinity UMC (2019 E. Nash St. Southport, NC  28461) will host the
