Green Anglicans were invited by the Sunday School teachers of St. Mary and St. James Cathedral to join in a special event to mark the season of creation on Sunday the 29th of September 2024. It was a day filled with fun, learning, and caring for God’s creation.
First, the Green Anglicans representative, Rapelang Korotjoe shared with the kids what their initiative is all about – taking care of the environment and being good stewards of the Earth. To wrap up the presentation, everyone sang a cheerful song called “Be Green In Your Corner”, which aligns with the work of green Anglicans.
After the presentation, the Sunday scholars rolled up their sleeves and got to work cleaning the church premises and watering plants under the watchful eyes of their teachers. It was heartwarming to see the kids pitching in to help keep their surroundings clean and green.
The fun didn’t stop there! The children had a blast getting their faces painted and expressing their creativity by drawing pictures related to God’s creation. They showed their drawings to everyone in the church, sharing their understanding of the beauty of the world around us.
In a touching moment, one of the kids thanked Green Anglicans and prayed that everyone in the world appreciates and joins in the important work of caring for our planet. To end the day on a high note, everyone enjoyed a picnic together, celebrating the shared effort to protect and honor God’s creation.
It was a memorable day of learning, playing, and coming together as a young community to show love for the Earth. Let’s all take inspiration from these wonderful kids and do our part to make the world a better place for everyone!
