Check out these March Tip highlights:

1. Track the sun at your home and plan to grow something. For example, Minneapolis has numerous front-yard gardens, which provide the added benefit of opportunities to connect with neighbors to share the food, to perhaps share the work, and to build community.

2. Plan now for your Earth Day witness. The 2024 event is April 22, but now is your opportunity to engage others in planning for an occasion that raises awareness and sparks action. Find a few interested people, locally or online, dream big, get others onboard, and plan a day to remember. The theme is Planet vs. Plastic. Have some serious fun with that!

3. Are you planning to remodel or to replace appliances soon? Prioritize selections that contribute to energy efficiency. Upgrade your home to care for your other home: Earth.

1 Corinthians 3:6 Paul wrote, "I planted, Apollos watered, but God gave the growth." Continue to do your "planting" for creation care and justice. Others will assist, and God will give the growth. Your job is to be faithful in your task even if you don't see results. Trust God to be faithful too.
