Earth Day is April 22, 2025. There are a variety of ways to celebrate Earth Day as people of faith who believe in our role, our responsibility in care of God’s Creation. It is also, in the wisdom of the Church, the Tuesday of Easter Week, just after our joyous celebration of the Feast of the Resurrection. This challenge of the calendar does not offer a choice of one or the other, rather, a chance to celebrate both! Recognizing the resurrection of Jesus the Christ is affirmation of the life giving ‘Way of Love’ we accept has followers of Christ, and, our stewardship of creation is part of Christian faith lived loudly in the world around us.
Below is a starter kit listing how you and your congregation can celebrate Earth Day and the days around it, as members of this loving, liberating faith we live’
