On February 18, 2009, EUMC was designated as an official "Greening Congregation" by Earth Ministry, an ecumenical environmental organization, based in Seattle. The church received its official designation banner during Earth Day Sunday Service on April 19th from a representative of Earth Ministry. This designation tells everyone who uses our church that EUMC is committed to good stewardship of the building (and its activities), the community, and the earth. It also reminds us as members to always keep the earth's stewardship as part of our planning and implementation processes. Annual Plans and reports are due each year to ensure that the church is continuing its "Greening" activities. Opportunities to collaborate and cooperate with other organizations and churches are offered through Earth Ministry, as well as networking information on the local, national, and international level.
