Green Props

I wanted to take a moment to give some props to my friend Russ Bowlin on his recent blog post. He has spent this last week sharing with us ways that we can live up to our responsibility in the series “It’s Not Easy Being Green.” He begins with this verse:

“The LORD God took the man and put him in the Garden of Eden to work it and take care of it.” Genesis 2:15

From there he gives us around 8 simple suggestions for saving energy, or recycling or other things we can do. When I first thought about posting this I though.. I usually write about worship stuff.. why post this? Then I had a profound duh moment. If worship is how we live our lives in response to God then taking care of the planet is a HUGE aspect of worship.

In fact it has gotten me to think about how we could be more planet friendly in our worship. Things like using LED lights instead of cans on the stage, making books and reusing lead sheets instead of copying them every week. Even something like using chorded microphones instead of wireless ones that use batteries, or find recyclable batteries that work in wireless mics well.

Who knows.. maybe I’ll write that one a little later… for now I redirect you back to Russ’s blog. Oh.. take a look at some of his other posts… they are cool and though provoking too.

    thanks for the shout out. i’ll fulfill my promise and post the last two in just a bit. i like the idea of the music books, but we need to nominate someone to have that be their “thing” cause i’m not sure it’s my spiritual gift.
