Season of Creation
Everyone on the planet has a role to play in caring for creation. Every day each of us has a chance to care for our beautiful planet. Sometimes we forget that we can make change happen.
Each class will create a 'Caring for Creation' wall art in their classroom. Then each time that someone in their class does one of the things on the list, they will add a leaf, a flower, or an animal, something to represent what they have done. Within a short time, if everyone works together they will have produced a beautiful mural to remind everyone how important it is to care for creation. Around the edge of their murals, they will add photographs of them as they care for our common home.
