The issue of Care for God’s Creation has been well grounded in the Bible. The biggest challenge that many congregations and ministries find is how to move forward with implemented actions that can make a difference. One of the biggest hurdles is often the cost of implementing a new way of doing our work. It can be very expensive to change. For instance, using solar power can cost tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands of dollars. On top of the cost, churches cannot get the tax break that an individual can get. There are, however, some simple low or no cost changes that can be done. The Florida-Bahamas Synod has a co-branded handout with the EPA designed for congregations. Please contact the Synod to get a free copy and learn more about setting up a Green Team. This list should help you get started.
