Congregational Covenant
Invite members of the congregation and the congregation itself to make a commitment to a life of caring for creation. Create a template with a list of commitments which fit into the greater vision of your congregational greening. Display this covenant visibly in your gathering space or printed in your newsletter or service folders. Let this vision of a covenant guide your ministry and choices of care for creation.
If you would like to incorporate the covenant into worship, try using the Litany for our Covenant with Creation.
Sample Covenant for individual members of the congregation:
As a membesr of this congregation I dedicate myself to the care and redemption of all that God has made. I agree, within this building and community and on my own, in partnership with others in this congregation to to the following acts of respect out of my kinship with all creation. (Please check all the specific ways you intend to fulfill this covenant.) Recycle: |
