Renewal: Students Caring for Creation invites you

 to join us on April 22nd, 2009

 for the National Day of Service for God’s Creation.

On this day, Christian campuses, churches and communities across North America will join together and get our hands dirty working for the renewal of God’s creation. We hope this event will inspire your campuses and communities to live more intentionally for Christ through the care of God’s creation.

Reflecting on how Jesus lived simply and intentionally inspired our theme for this year, “Serving Hands for a Fallen Creation.” Jesus seeks to love, bless, and renew people, land, and communities. On April 22nd, we’re asking you to follow in Jesus’ footsteps. We encourage you to not only be conscious of how your choices impact the world on this day, but also choose to actively bless God’s creation through participating in a creation care service activity.

What would it be like on your campus if everyone committed to live one day like Jesus? To make a conscious, focused effort to live humbly and lovingly. To use only what we need- no excess. To actively demonstrate love. To participate in servant-leadership. To act with kindness. To work for the renewal of God’s creation, through taking a day- or an hour- to care for it.

One day living like this could change the world! So join the movement, and organize a Day of Service for God’s Creation for your campus or community!

The possibilities for service projects and activities are endless! Some schools are integrating their Day of Service events into a pre-existing Earth Day celebration. Some are holding a service project over the weekend (April 24th-26th), and others are organizing a weeklong creation care focus on their campuses in and around the 22nd. Be creative and get other people excited about this wonderful opportunity!
