Care of Creation Work Group

Mission Statement
The Care of Creation Work Group is called to make a peace between people and the rest of God's creation.  In partnership with the congregations of the Northeastern Iowa Synod we:

• Affirm that care of creation is central to the life of God's people.
   

• Encourage worship that celebrates God's creation.
   

• Advocate education promoting understanding and stewardship of God's earth.
   

• PRACTICE good earth citizenship.
   

• MODEL disciplined and fruitful community lifestyles.

About Care of Creation
The Northeastern Iowa Synod Care of Creation Work Group began its existence in 1989 with nine members.  Since its organization, the group has met three to four times each year.  We have promoted energy conservation in our congregations, produced a calendar in 2000, sponsored a Care of Creation Retreat at Prairie Woods with the Southeastern Iowa Synod, and published newsletters periodically in the Northeastern Iowa Synod "Star."

Anyone interested in becoming involved with Care of Creation should contact the Northeastern Iowa Synod office in Waverly at 319-352-1414.
