Creation Care Upcoming Events

A person is holding a small plant in their hands.

As Christians, we believe all of creation was called into being by the very word of God. The Bible reveals that our Creator calls us to be stewards of creation and to love our neighbors. Inspired by the unsurpassed love God showed us by sending Jesus Christ, God’s only son, to redeem us through his death and resurrection, we respond to God's commands. The Episcopal Diocese of Alabama and the All Saints Creation Care Committee is committed to environmental education, advocacy, and action for our neighbors and all of creation.


Here are some great opportunities to get involved!

We are inviting parish members to suggest individuals to serve in our Rector search process. This is a prayerful and important season for All Saints. We are looking for people who are spiritually grounded and willing to listen, learn, and be shaped by God through collaboration. Those recommended should be trustworthy and able to hold confidentiality with care. They should bring emotional maturity, humility, integrity, and a deep love for this parish. We are seeking people who communicate thoughtfully, engage others with respect and compassion, and reflect a range of perspectives within our community. The ability to work well with differing views and experiences matters. This work calls for patience, courage, and a steady commitment to God’s will. It requires careful preparation, consistent participation, and the time and energy to stay present through months of discernment. If someone comes to mind who values Episcopal identity and keeps the long term mission of All Saints at the center, we invite you to share their name by completing the form. Submissions must be received no later than February 6th.
