National Clean Up Australia Day is just around the corner. Have you or your church thought about using National events like this as a way to express your concern for your local community and connect with them as you do something practical together?
As Christians we ought to be concerned for our environment, seeing it as a simple expression of contented thankfulness in the goodness and grace of God. Despite our human folly that can cause much damage, God is actively involved in sustaining our fragile world and so we should be people who are confident in God and have a deep love for our neighbours. Therefore, there should be no reason why we wouldn’t want to develop wise principles of good environmental stewardship and care.
Clean Up Australia Day is also a great way to get together with locals and contribute positively to the life of our community.
It is not to late to sign yourself up.
Go to the Clean Up Australia Day Website and check out whether there is already a group in your church area by searching its postcode. If someone is already organising a clean up, grab some people from you connect or bible study group and go along!
If there is no one in your area doing anything then organise one.
