“God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Renewed Creation: Call to Hope and Action.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d
\n –United Methodist Council of Bishops<\/p>\n

To celebrate earth day 2012, your MissionCast crew took a tour of the solar home of Mitch Ross & Cheryl Marcum, located near Stockton Lake. Mitch and Cheryl are members of the Stockton United Methodist Church.<\/p>\n

When they designed and built their solar home five years ago their goal was to reduce electricity and greenhouse gas emissions. Their average monthly electricity bill for their 3718 square foot electric home, for the past five years, has been $63. This includes a $20 per month service charge, all of their lights and appliances, heat for their home and their guinea house, power for their water pump and electric cart, and day use of two home offices.<\/p>\n

In their document, God\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Renewed Creation: Call to Hope and Action, the United Methodist bishops have said, \u00e2\u20ac\u0153We cannot help the world until we change our way of being in it,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d As we celebrate earth day 2012, let us all consider ways we can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save this beautiful earth for our grand kids and their kids.
