Care For God's Creation and Earth Day

Happy Earth Day! Today gives us the opportunity to reflect on the good that is in creation. Everything was made by God, and all of creation desires to return to Him. Humanity is given the task of having stewardship over the Earth and taking care for God’s creation.
