Taftsville Chapel Mennonite Fellowship
Taftsville, Vermont
Heather Wolfe (pictured) was affirmed as Taftsville’s creation care liaison in August 2016 and the congregation is now in the Green Patchwork fold. Heather delivered the message on their creation care Sunday, August 21, and composting debuted at the church the same week. Even the toddlers received instructions during the children’s time.
Faith Mennonite Church
Goshen, Indiana
Faith Mennonite Church is an inclusive community, becoming followers of Jesus and friends to each other across differences of income, education, and religious experience. Kay Bontrager-Singer, one of the pastors, recently focused a sabbatical in ways that encouraged everyone to practice a “loving eye gaze” toward all of creation. Some of the ways the congregation has taken on that practice include planting bulbs locally and at a church camp, building bluebird houses for a local park and joining Mennonite Creation Care Network.
