Earth Day – April 22
Trinity’s Creation Care Committee invites you to get involved in taking care of God’s Earth.
What we eat, where it comes from and how it is produced contribute to our ‘foodprint’ – our food’s impact on the environment. Even simple changes can lead to big results if we all work together.
