The Creation Care Community reminds us today is Earth Day. Happy Earth Day! Pasting their message below:
"Today is Earth Day!
What is Earth Day? Earth Day is celebrated on April 22 each year. This started here in the USA in 1970, when, in response to a massive oil spill, Wisconsin Senator Ga***rd Nelson proposed a teach-in day on college campuses to educate students about the environment and pollution.
Ga***rd Nelson’s idea took off and grew, and grew! It is a reminder that one person can make a difference to the world.
Earth Day is now a global commemoration, marked by millions around the world each year on this day.
The Creation Care Community pray that you will have a calm, reflective, purposeful day, as we remember the gift of this beautiful Earth and praise and thank its Creator. That we will each try to play a part so together we can make a difference.
May we fulfil the prayer from our baptism, that we may have “the gift of joy and wonder in all your works.”
O LORD, how manifold are your works!
in wisdom you have made them all;
the earth is full of your creatures.
--Psalm 104
Remember that this year the Creation Care Community of the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island is holding our “Fight for Earth” Day on Saturday, April 25th, at the Cathedral of the Incarnation in Garden City, NY, beginning at 11:00 a.m. See more and register at https://www.dioceseli.org/events/earthday26
