St. Matthew's and the Environment
Our appreciation for the earth on which we live begins with the story of creation. St. Matthew's is devoted to proper stewardship of God's gift.
--- Terry Elsberry, Rector
“Then God said, ‘Let us make man in our image, after our likeness; and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth.”—Genesis 1:26
A prayer for our environment:
O heavenly Father, who has filled the world with beauty: Open our eyes to behold your gracious hand in all your works; that, rejoicing in your whole creation, we may learn to serve you with gladness; for the sake of him through whom all things were made, your Son Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
