RESOURCES FOR EARTH DAY (April 22nd)
and CREATION SUNDAY (April 27th).

Over the past several decades many churches have begun to celebrate the gift of God's creation on the Sunday that falls closest to Earth Day, which is always on April 22. We call this annual emphasis on environmental awareness Creation Sunday. This year, the Sunday closest to Earth Day is April 27, but we encourage churches to celebrate Creation Sunday when it best suits their circumstances.

The Evangelical Environmental Network, a ministry of ESA, has developed a rich body of resources for Creation Sunday. Their suggested theme for Creation Sunday 2003 is "What Would Jesus Drive?" - prompting Christians to examine transportation choices through the lens of faith.

To help with this year's theme, new preaching, teaching, and worship resources are available at http://whatwouldjesusdrive.org/resources/church

All other Creation Sunday resources can be found at http://creationcare.org/resources/sunday

EEN's Creation Sunday resources are also featured on the American Bible Society's website throughout April as their monthly theme. To view them, go to http://www.forministry.com/connect/theme.dsp.

The Creation Sunday resources are biblically-based and designed to help busy pastors, worship leaders, and teachers celebrate Creation Sunday at their church. New resources are added every year.
