Creation Care Service Project

Our April Lunch and Learn series is focused on Creation Care and how we are called to be good stewards of God's creation, earth -- home and wondrous gift to all earth's inhabitants!  Our first Creation Care activity/reflection will be an outside Service Project on April 2nd, Palm Sunday, in partnership with our friends at the Sourland Conservancy, a local organization aimed at protection, promotion, and preservation of the unique character of the Sourland Mountain region – a refuge of natural and cultural diversity in our region. Following Palm Sunday worship service, we'll travel to a beautiful piece of land on Hollow Road, Skillman, NJ (just 4 miles from here), managed by the Stoutsburg Sourland African American Museum (SSAAM) and the Sourland Conservancy. The Sourland region is experiencing a devastating loss of trees from invasive pests and disease. Our goal is to create a protective buffer of compostable cardboard and wood chips around the Sourland Conservancy's new tree nursery at that location. The tree nursery is a temporary staging area for native, healthy young trees -- to be planted elsewhere later this year to help restore our forests. Join us for as little or as much time as your schedule allows!
