​GREEN TEAM
​

Martin Luther, “God is wholly present in all creation, in every corner, behind you and before you.” (LW 51:43) ​



Picture
The Green Team’s purpose is to “raise awareness of and advocate for the care of creation”. Our mission is to support and encourage creation care ministries, raise awareness, model creation care advocacy consistent with ELCA teachings in our faith communities and public life. We are encouraged by the LAMPa and ELCA priorities which support this ministry effort in PA and nationally.  
The Northwestern Pennsylvania Synod authorized the formation of a group of volunteers to focus efforts on what it means to be good stewards of God's Creation.  This group is known as the NWPA Synod Green Team.

We are all concerned about water and air quality as well as how we can reuse, reduce, and recycle. Green Team members work with staff members from LAMPa, (Lutheran Advocacy Ministry in Pennsylvania, the state public policy office of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) who serves the congregations, synods, and Lutheran institutions in Pennsylvania, providing resources, training, and information in the work of being a public church. We also work with Lutherans Restoring Creation, a grassroots movement promoting care for creation in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America. These advocacy groups are active on social media and we encourage others to become aware of and involved in the ministry of these two groups.  Our volunteers on the Green Team have diverse gifts - some are speakers, some offer outings, some are writers, others are great at networking and developing educational programs and materials - but all are passionate about caring for what God has entrusted to us and we want to work with you.

To learn more about the Northwest PA Synod’s Green Team, look for our articles in the Synod newsletter, on the Synod website and Facebook page and watch for our display table at upcoming events. 

If you would like to be on our email list or would like more information about the NWPA Synod’s Green Team, contact our facilitator Dennis Groce (d_mgroce@labs.net) with your name and email address.
