Our work is in three chief areas:

​

Sensitizing the Federated Church community to the ways the Christian faith generates and sustains active engagement with care for our planet Earth, climate change, and other environmental challenges;

​

Helping FCO members recognize and implement practical steps that the congregation collectively and members individually can take to be effective environmental stewards  here on Cape Cod; and

​

Collaborating with other groups in Orleans and beyond that are engaged in environmental work and advocacy.

​

Our regular meeting time is the second Sunday of each month, at 11:15 am, in the church’s  Fellowship Room.  Visitors are always welcome! Cheri Tyree  is our chair.

Below is a video from our 2017 Caring for the Earth: Lenten Reflections series with a special led by Rev. Dr. Paul Minus entitled, "'The Bible, Loving the Earth, and You' Part I," in which Paul connects his personal journey and love for the ecology of the Cape with a greater proposition to undertake environmental action as members of the church. In the second creation story in Genesis, we are told that Adam was placed in the Garden to "till it and keep it" (Gen 2:15). As children of God and inheritors of the Earth, Paul helps us to see why this relationship serves to reinforce our responsibility in caring for creation.
