Annual Fund Raising Drive
Our annual Earth
Day Fund drive is now underway. Since we will be moving our office in a few months we need to raise approximately $1,000.00
to cover the cost of new business cards, stationary, newsletter masthead, etc. which will show our new address. We
appreciate the generous support of our past donors and encourage you join in our efforts to celebrate the beauties of God’s
creation. A donation form is included with this letter.
St. Augustine on the relationship of God with
creation
“’He was in the world, and the world was made through Him.’ Do not imagine that He was in the world in
such a way as the earth is in the world, the sky is in the world, the sun, the moon, and the stars are in the world, trees,
cattle, and men are in the world. He was not in the world in such a way. But how was He? As the master builder who governs
what He has made. For He did not make it in a way a craftsman makes a chest. The chest which he makes is external to him;
and when it is constructed, it has been situated in another place. And however nearby he is, he who is constructing it sits
in another place and is external to what he is constructing. But God constructs while infused in the world. He constructs
while situated everywhere. He does not withdraw from anywhere; He dose not direct the structure which He constructs as someone
on the outside. By the presence of His majesty He makes what He makes; by His own presence He governs what He has made.” St.
Augustine, Tractates on the Gospel of John 2.10; page 118
