Caring for Our Environment
Creation Matters
The Creation Matters group focuses on caring for God’s creation by showing love for God and our neighbours by being stewards of God’s planet. The group meets via Zoom, discussing and sharing environmental tips and opportunities, planning environmental activities for the parish and working to move St. Matthew’s towards certification as a green church.
Previous Events
Blessing of the Bicycles
St. Matthew’s holds a ‘Blessing of the Bicycles and other forms of active transportation’ service annually. We celebrate our stewardship of the Earth by engaging in active modes of transportation with a Blessing of the Bicycles. Bring your bicycles, bus passes, walking shoes, scooters, inline skates, etc. This service takes place annually in April.
