Earth Day 2003

Fresh water is one of the earth’s most precious resources. While there is plenty of water to meet human need, it is often distributed unevenly. Fresh water comprises about 2.5 percent of the world’s total volume of water. Overuse and water quality issues continually threaten existing freshwater supplies. Good water management plays a vital role in realizing the abundance of the earth’s freshwater supply.

Through the Earth Day Sunday 2003 materials, learn how you and your congregation can be a part of good water management so that all people will have access to fresh, safe water. Sermon starters, a Call to Worship, and background information are available online so that you can take action to protect the waters of life and help provide enough for all.
