This service is part of a series of EMU chapel services focused on the theme of sustainability - part of a year-long emphasis on creation care at EMU. The series is part of efforts by a newly formed Creation Care Council. The council provides a forum for faculty, staff and students to talk about various aspects of campus life — how we eat, worship, travel and play — and how those aspects fit into the community’s vision for sustainable living.

In celebration of Christian camping and outdoor ministries the featured speaker is Dr. Luke Gascho, Executive Director of Merry Lea Environmental Learning Center of Goshen College.

“Finding a place we love in nature increases our awareness of the interconnectedness of all things. In these settings, often found at camps and nature preserves, we learn more fully to love what God loves. Spiritual alertness is enhanced in these settings as we learn of the relationship of all things to God. As a joyful response to knowing our Creator, Restorer and Sustainer, we grow in our role of caring for the earth.”
