In Bible study on Wednesday, January 14, 2026, we discussed the care of God's creation. We looked at Psalm 24:1 and were reminded that the earth, along with everything and everyone in it, belongs to the Lord. This means that God is the Owner and we are stewards of His blessings in this world.

We listened to a presentation on the stewardship of the Buffalo National River from St. Matthew member and Ozark Society representative, Dr. David Peterson. 

I shared about a document produced by our church body's Commission on Theology and Church Relations entitled Together with All Creatures: Caring for God's Living Earth. This document describes a Lutheran understanding of the surrounding environment and our role as caretakers of it. Click here to view the full document or click here to read an abbreviated version. You can also contact the church office if you'd like for us to print a copy for you.
