Intergenerational Caring for Creation at Lutherwood 9/2011

 Saturday, September 24, 2011

EcoFaith Recovery partnered with Camp Lutherwood and the Lutherans Restoring Creation Training Team to hold an

Intergenerational Caring for Creation Day

at

                              Camp Lutherwood Oregon

Participants were invited to an intergenerational day of discovery, delighting and deepening their love for God’s creation! Whether they were new to caring for God’s creation or had been on the cutting edge, these individuals came to learn, share, and strengthen relational networks to care for God’s magnificent world—right in the beautiful Oregon Woods of the Camp Lutherwood site.

Adults received training in the Lutherans Restoring Creation model for gracefully greening every area of their congregation’s ministry. This Biblically grounded approach offered a positive process for participants to enable their congregations to incorporate caring for God’s creation into every area of ministry including worship, education, building/grounds, home/work, and public ministry. Children and youth engaged in special hands-on activities to help them discover more about how they can care for God’s creation. Intergenerational discovery activities helped us have fun together while learning about how to live more sustainably.
