SUGAR GROVE UMC AND CREATION CARE

MORGANTOWN, KY - Sugar Grove UMC is doing a lot to care for God's creation these days. Check out their blog at http://sugargrovemethodist.blogspot.com/ See the rain barrels they are selling and the youth garden they have begun. Pastor Kevin Mays did a sermon series on Creation Care then one of the members took it upon herself to buy real plates and glasses so that the church could stop using styrofoam plates and cups in their fellowship meals. Another member has started saving the plastic bottles that she used to simply throw away and now brings them to the church for recycling. They've cut down on the size of their bulletin to a single, double-sided piece of recycled paper, and they serve fair trade coffee purchased from our Equal Exchange partnership through UMCOR. Another initiative is their new Park & Ride carpooling ministry, where they coordinate commuter groups of people who live in Butler County and drive to Bowling Green for work.
