Care for Earth – Special Calendars from the Interfaith Team
In this sacred season, we invite you to join faith communities across the region in deepening our commitment to caring for creation.
We are excited to share a special resource created by Green Muslims. This Ramadan Calendar highlights the beautiful work Muslim communities are already doing to be khalifa (stewards) of our natural world and offers daily actions to help us live in harmony with the Earth, its creatures, and one another. Click Here
Lent is a time for reflection on our personal lives and on the world, so that we may repent (turn away from) unintentional or intentional behaviors that cause harm. This year concern and grief for the environment may be heavy on the heart. The Creation Care Lent calendar offers a focus on personal and community resilience. Each Sunday includes a lectionary verse with a devotional question that can be explored in your quiet time or with others. Click here.
Consider printing these calendars for your home, sharing them with your congregation, or using them as bulletin inserts to inspire collective action.
May this season of prayer, reflection, and action strengthen our shared responsibility to protect and restore the world we all call home.
The Interfaith Team of HARC
From Rabbi Mark, HARC President
Hello everyone,
These are difficult times. Many are feeling the effects on multiple levels of what is taking place right now in Washington D.C. Certainly, we as religious leaders and others who are committed to the well being of our community, are concerned about what lies ahead that will inevitably hurt people, many of whom are vulnerable legally, economically, professionally, and yes, emotionally.
But HARC is a strong organization with caring members that is directed, staffed, and supported by people who will be doing whatever we can to protect those whom we serve and to make sure that religious, ethical, and compassionate values prevail over greed, selfishness, and mean spiritedness.
In the words of the prophet Micah: “He has showed you, O man, what is good. And what does the Lord require of you? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God”.
If there are ways you think that HARC can be more supportive of those who are struggling right now in our community in the midst of what is happening, feel free to reach out to me and I will direct your request accordingly.
Sincerely,
Rabbi Mark Perman
HARC President
