Hi: I'm Shirley Fifield liason with All Saints' Montgomery. We had a great day
on Stewards for Creaton Sunday with the presentation of a resolution to care for
God's creation, written by our committee and adoped by the vestry. Special
prayers and collects were read during the worship service. An information table
was set up with materials on recycling, web sites available, energy conservation
along with pictures of wildflowers to illustrate God's gift to us. We plan to
continue this effort during the Easter season.
I also provided a plant survey of the many interesting plants and trees in our
gardens and wooded area and invited the congregation to take a pilgrimage around
the property in order to more fully appreciate our beautiful setting. All
Saints' is blessed with a broad expanse of open space nestled in a back drop of
a wooded hillside, with several small gardens including a Trinity Memorial
Garden, Moss garden, Labyrinth and herb garden. It all makes for a very earth
friendly environment visible from the many windows in our church building.
I would like to hear about the celebrations in other congregations.
Yours in Christ, Shirley Fifield
