Donno Clark Fuller

Creation Care is increasingly an important congregational ministry.  Peculiar United Methodist Church has been making great strides in this ministry.  In this 102nd episode of MissionCast Donna Clark Fuller, a member of their Creation Care Task Force, tells what they have been doing and what they are planning for the future.  A good way to kick start your congregation’s creation care ministry is to send a couple or more of your members to the “Show-Me Creation Care Conference,” scheduled for Saturday, April 25th, at Community United Methodist Church in Columbia.  For the brochure and registration information go to:  http://www.umocm.com/

If you have a creation care ministry in your church please tell is about it by sending an email to CreationCareNow@aol.com

6. Eden Summit: Cultivating Creation Awareness

heronThe purpose of the Eden Summit is to create a network of local congregations that have intentional “Creation Awareness” ministries.  A long term goal is to organize Eden Clubs in local congregations.  Hopefully congregations might also organize Eden Clubs in their communities involving churches from many denominations.  This MissionCast provides visual information about the Eden Summit that will be held on April 21, at Community United Methodist Church, in Columbia.  It is sponsored by the Spiritual Formation and Social Justice Team, the Global Connections Team and the Office of Creative Ministries.  All of the information about the Eden Summit may be found at http://www.umocm.com/eden_summit.htm  The photo of the heron was taken by Bishop Robert Schnase.

For DSL or Cable:  Med resolution video (7 MB) or High resolution video (20 MB)
For Dial-up Connections:  Low resolution video (2 MB, 5-10 mins)
For Mac users:  Quick Time video (16 MB) 

Sadly, video viewing on the internet while becoming very popular, pretty much requires a high speed internet connection.  At home I only have a dial-up connection and it maybe that dial-up is all you have as well.  If you are willing to wait 5-10 mins for the download you can still view the low resolution version of MissionCast.
Happy viewing,
