Missions & Community Engagement

God spoke: “Let us make human beings in our image, make them reflecting our nature so they can be responsible for the fish in the sea, the birds in the air, the cattle, and, yes, Earth itself, and every animal that moves on the face of Earth.”
Genesis 1:26-28 (MSG)

Green Team

Taking action in worship, education, practice, and advocacy to provide children, youth, and adults of all ages with inspiration, knowledge, encouragement, and practical means for caring for creation and justice. (From a resolution of the 2024 General Conference of the United Methodist Church)

2nd Sunday of each month, 1pm, Room 210, Education Center

Please join us as we learn and share how to live ever more responsibly and justly in God’s creation, both as a church and as individuals.

Contact Rev. Pavielle Jenkins (pjenkins@fumcr.com) for more information.

What We Do

Creation Care Fairs

Attendees learn about steps the church is taking and steps individuals can take to heal an atmosphere damaged by decades of pollution.

Plant-Based Meals

Enjoy a tasty meal and experience one of the most effective ways individuals can help protect and restore the earth as well as provide enough food for everyone by eating more plants and less meat.

Resource Management & Education

We are moving away from using Styrofoam at the church. When disposables are needed, we want to use compostables that will become compost for the Garden Ministry. Ultimately, we want the church to serve all its meals on its non-disposable dinnerware. Such a change will save the church money as well as reduce the wastefulness of using disposables.

FUMCR recycles. This effort has had ups and downs. We can do more.

The team is nudging FUMCR toward using solar energy for economy as well as stewardship.

The Green Team can put Sunday Schools in touch with local speakers about water conservation, electricity use, and Climate Change mitigation.
