Creation Care | Widcombe Baptist

The heavens declare the glory of God;

the skies proclaim the work of his hands.

Psalm 19 v 1

Welcome to Creation Care!

At Widcombe Baptist Church we love God and we love the amazing world He has made. The world is not ours to exploit: it is God’s. He has made us stewards of it, to protect it and enjoy it.

It is easy to feel disheartened by all the news of climate change, pollution and loss of biodiversity, and we may wonder if we can really make a difference.

The answer is that we can. For starters, we can pray – pray for our world and for our leaders making big decisions. And we can all act – to make changes to reduce our impact on the environment and think about ways we can help care for our planet together.

Creation Challenge!

To help us all think about the little differences we can make, here are some suggested Creation Challenges. No pressure. No prizes. Just showing we care for God’s world.
