The Presbyterians for Restoring Creation has an Advent resource. Their introduction describes it best:

We hope that this Advent devotional resource will be for you a simple, thought-provoking tool to connect this season with caring for God’s creation. It includes a reading for each of the Sundays of Advent, for Christmas Eve, and Christmas. Written by a different member of PRC, each reflection opens with a scripture verse and ends with a closing prayer. These readings can be used for individual reflection or used in a group setting.

Frame Memorial Presbyterian Church has been active as a founding organization in the new Interfaith Community for the Earth (ICE).  ICE is sponsoring a Step It Up 2007 rally on November 3 at 1:00 PM at UWSP's Schmeeckle Reserve Visitor Center at 2419 North Point Drive. Participants in the Rally for Environmental Leadership: A Tribute to Fred Schmeeckle will learn about the “1 Sky” initiative: Comprehensive science-based priorities to avoid the worst effects of global warming and enable future generations to enjoy this beautiful planet. They will also hear about local, state, and national efforts to fight climate change and increase sustainability.

Restoring Creation:

Why the Church is Vital to Saving the Earth Today

The Earth is poised on the brink of disaster.  The planet is getting hotter.  As a species we are now hell-bent on a path to destruction of apocalyptic proportions.  Already more than 30,000 plant and animal species each year are driven to extinction. The great work of our generation will be to develop sustainable lifestyles that kick the habit of dependence on cheap fossil fuels, the primary source of global climate change. 

Christian faith has the power to fire the imagination and empower the will in order to break the cycle of addiction to nonrenewable energy.  The environmental crisis is a crisis not of the head, but of the heart.  Only a bold and courageous faith can change our hearts and make us passionately committed to preserving all of God's creation so that future generations can enjoy our common planet home.  This program is a call to hope, not despair - a call to discover purpose in our lives in a spiritually charged commitment to saving the earth.
