As we enter the Advent season, the Episcopal Diocese of Long Island’s Creation Care Community is pleased to share the newest edition of the Creation Care Newsletter.
This issue arrives at a time of preparation, hope, and renewed awareness of God’s presence in our world. Inside, you’ll find stories, reflections, and practical guidance to support joyful, sustainable living during the holidays and throughout the winter months.
Highlights include:
A feature on the Sisters of St. Joseph in Brentwood and their remarkable model of ecological stewardship
A message from the Missioner for Environmental Justice on faith, justice, and the call to care for the Earth
Seasonal worship resources for Advent, Christmas, and Epiphany
Practical ideas for celebrating the holidays with less waste and greater intention
A parish spotlight on St. James of Jerusalem, Long Beach, and their work toward an emissions-free campus
Community reflections responding to the question: “What environmental practice brings you closer to God?”
Helpful guidance for choosing a Christmas tree in ways that honor creation
We hope these stories and resources offer encouragement, deepen your sense of connection to God’s creation, and inspire meaningful action in your parish, home, and community.
