Caring for Creation
“The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.”
We are living in the midst of a climate and environmental emergency. As Christians, we believe that we are creatures created by a loving and good God to be part of His good creation. As humans, we are aware of the part we have played in harming the world around us. As members of God’s kingdom, we believe that we have a responsibility to love and care for the whole of the earth. We believe that Jesus came not just to bring redemption to humanity but to redeem the whole of creation and that God calls us to partner with him in the journey of bringing about his kingdom on earth. As a church, we are on a journey of challenging and encouraging one another to care for God’s creation.
What is Ps & Gs doing?
At Ps & Gs we are keen to continue and develop the work of volunteers and interns who have helped our church engage with environmental issues over the years. Our plans coming up include:
working towards an Eco-congregation Scotland gold award
engaging with the Diocesan Environment Group to to work towards reaching carbon zero by 2030
Implementing our Environmental Policy, enabling Ps & Gs to be accountable to our care of creation in all strands of its ministry

Mossy Church
We have started running Mossy Church once a month. The ethos behind Mossy church is to encourage children to encounter God through his creation. Find out more here.
No. 40 Garden Project
The team have been working on the no.40 to make it into a space that can be used by different groups in the church. The young people have helped us with upcycling pallets into a seating area and building a mud kitchen for the younger children to use during Mossy Church.
Resources
As a church we have been looking at what it means to be good to our world. We have been praying and our children have been singing about it too!
