As we live the renewal of Lent, rethinking our choices and recommitting to faith-filled behaviors, Creation Care Team is offering some Small Steps to Care for Creation. Caring for creation is caring for the entire "web of life." It is social justice. It is seeking to be healers in our world. Huge goals arrived at one small step each day.

"Small Steps": Spring Cleaning Outdoors

• Wash your car using a pail of soapy water, then rinse using a hose with a spray nozzle. This can save as much as 100 gallons of water.
• Use a broom, not a hose, to clean driveways and sidewalks.
• Check for leaks in pipes, hoses, faucets outdoors. Use hose washers at spigots and hose connectors to eliminate leaks.

Meatless Recipes for Lent and Beyond
Choosing plant-based meals aids in reduction of carbon and other greenhouse gas emissions. Creation Care Team members are sharing favorite meatless dishes. This week the Team offers Fine Noodle Cheese Casserole. Complete recipes for this dish and past weeks are on the St. Thomas website.
