Evironmental Stewardship
Psalm 24:1 The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it...
Members of Forest Lake Presbyterian Church responded to God's call to love and care for His Creation by forming the FLPC Environmental Stewardship Committee in 2005.
The committee has as its mission the following statement.
Recognizing that the 202nd General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church (USA) declared "Restoring Creation as a central concern of the church to be incorporated into its life and mission at every level ," the Environmental Stewardship Committee commits:
- To inspire FLPC Members to respond to the Bible's call to appreciate, respect and responsibly care for God's gifts of His Earth and all His Living Creations;
- To provide FLPC Members with information and resources to preserve God's Creation;
- To network with neighboring congregations and community organizations to promote stewardship of God's Creation.
