Who We Are

Mennonite Creation Care Network (MCCN) is a bi-national Christian organization affiliated with the Mennonite Church USA and the Mennonite Church Canada. Our focus is the Mennonite “household”—especially its congregations—but we welcome anyone who wishes to be part of a faith-based network of people engaged in caring for creation. Click the verbs to see the goals below in action.

MCCN encourages the Church to:

• Claim its biblical and theological foundation for the care of God’s Creation.              
• Discover the ties that link all created beings to each other and to God.

• Confess the harm we have caused the natural world and our neighbors.

• Act faithfully to restore the earth.

Got Plans for Earth Day?

Earth Day 2012 is coming up on April 22. Need ideas? Here’s how some other Christians are remembering God’s good earth this April:

Mennonite Central Committee Ontario is sponsoring an E-Waste Drive. They’ve also got resources  to share.

The folks at Let All Creation Praise have gathered some brand new hymns for Earth Day. They are available for free.

Evangelical Environmental Network is sponsoring a Global Day of Prayer for Creation Care on April 26. Mercury pollution and its effect on the unborn is one of their top prayer concerns.

National Council of Churches of Christ Eco-justice Programs offers a curriculum entitled, Ethics of Energy especially for Earth Day.
