READ SERMONS

So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.

Isaiah 41:10

The Earth belongs to the Lord and the fullness thereof...

This passage from Psalm 24 instructs our faith commitment to the Earth, so we have implemented stewardship to practice it:

  • We added Solar Panels for all our energy use​

  • Our financial investments are specifically in a fund called "Beyond Fossil Fuels" and therefore screen out gas and oil companies​

  • We replaced all toilets to low-flow​

  • We replaced all our boilers, furnaces, and AC units to the most energy efficient option available

  • We replaced every light fixture with LED​

  • We replaced sprinkler systems and changed to a more xeric landscaping thereby watering less grass

  • We purchased all Energy Star appliances

  • We added insulation to the chapel roof

  • We added motion sensors to light switches to turn off after 10 minutes of inactivity

  • We planted trees in a Denver park

  • We bought mugs to wash after coffee hour instead of using disposable cups

  • We recycle

  • We provide education and encouragement for our members to practice environmental stewardship in their own homes​

...and we're always looking for more ways to practice environmental stewardship.
