Don't forget - this Sunday is Earth Day Sunday, or, in the UMC, Festival of God's Creation Sunday. You can find worship resources and other materials here, from the Eco-Justice Working Group of the National Council of Churches.
This Sunday is also "Heritage Sunday". It might be a wonderful Sunday to remember Wesley:
John Wesley himself could be looked upon as an environmentalist. In his sermon on "The Use of Money," Wesley said: "We ought not to gain money at the expense of life nor (which is the same thing) at the expense of our health. …
"Some employments are absolutely and totally unhealthy," he wrote. He cited jobs that involve "dealing much with arsenic or other equally hurtful minerals, or the breathing of an air tainted with steams of melting lead, which must at length destroy the firmest constitution."
