Finding Hope in Caring for the Earth

Third Sunday in The Season of Creation

St. John’s 2024-25 Theme: Building Whole-Hearted Community

In this week's Gospel reading, the disciples ask “Who is the greatest?” Jesus, lifting up a child as a symbol of vulnerably and potential tells them that it is anyone who cares for a child. What if we saw the earth as a sacred trust from God, much like the vulnerable child Jesus calls us to protect in the Gospel? Would we care for the earth differently?

This week's sermon reminds us that true greatness is found in advocacy and service, and our daily choices reflect our commitment to God's call for justice and restoration. Hear how our community is taking action, and how we can all join in the sacred work of caring for creation.
