On Sunday, 23 November, the Eco-Champs from St Mary, Parys in the Diocese of the Free State took a creative step in nurturing environmental awareness among young people preparing for confirmation. As part of their ongoing commitment to promoting care for Creation, the Eco-Champs prepared succulent plants to be gifted to the confirmands.
During the service, the Diocesan Bishop, the Right Revd Dintoe, personally handed over the succulents to the confirmands. This symbolic gesture served as a reminder of their responsibility to care for God’s earth as they continue their journey of faith. Succulents were chosen for their resilience and low-maintenance nature, reflecting the importance of cultivating sustainable habits even in small, meaningful ways.
The initiative was warmly received, encouraging the confirmands to see environmental stewardship not just as a project, but as an integral expression of their Christian discipleship.
