About Us 
The Green Church Initiative
Have you ever thought of recycling as an act of worship?
"The earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof." Psalms 24:1
As stewards of God’s creation, we have a responsibility to be thoughtful, careful, and intentional about what we do. We would like to take a look at that at All Saints’, and do a better job both at the church and in our individual lives.
Churches throughout the world are taking steps to become “green.” There are many resources available to help guide our efforts. There is a nationwide network within the Episcopal Church USA that coordinates with the Peace and Justice Ministries Office to equip people and churches in “preserving the sanctity of creation.” (EpEN)
There are some obvious things we can do: recycling, taking care to use less water and electricity, considering using recycled or biodegradable items. And there are some steps we can take, that we might not even be aware of!
Let’s see how we can get moving in the direction of intentional environmental stewardship. If you would like to be instrumental in getting All Saints’ educated, organized, and moving, please email Debby Smith at shesworkingonit@gmail.com, and let her know.
“Christian environmental stewardship - our loving care and keeping of creation that mirrors God's love - is a central, joyful, part of the human task. As communities of God's stewards - as the Body of the One who made, sustains, and reconciles the world - our churches and our lives can and must be convicting publications and vibrant testimonies that glorify and honor our Redeemer and Creator.”

Live like a shepherd, not like a wolf. Remember, recycling is an act of worship!
