About this event

Falls Grounds and Watershed Clean-up

Care for God’s Creation Through Action

Our Environmental Justice and Stewardship Team invites you to take part in a meaningful opportunity to care for God’s creation right here in our own community. We will gather to clean the watershed area behind our church, a protected natural space that plays an important role in our local ecosystem.

Why This Work Matters

Over time, rain and wind naturally carry litter and debris into nearby creekbeds and wetlands. While much of it may go unnoticed, this buildup can have a lasting impact on the health of the land and waterways. By coming together to clean this area, we are taking an active step toward protecting and preserving a space God has entrusted to us.

Protecting Local Waterways

This watershed is part of a much larger system of waterways. What enters these creekbeds can eventually make its way into the Potomac River and even the Chesapeake Bay. By removing litter at the source, we can help reduce pollution downstream and contribute to the long-term health of these vital waters.

Who Can Participate

This event is open to everyone in the community, and all ages are welcome. Whether you are passionate about environmental stewardship, looking for a hands-on way to serve, or simply want to spend time outdoors making a difference, this is a great opportunity to get involved. No prior experience is needed, just a willingness to help care for creation.

What to Expect

Participants are encouraged to wear comfortable clothing and closed-toe shoes suitable for outdoor work. Gloves and necessary cleanup supplies will be provided. We also recommend bringing water to stay hydrated as we work together.

Join Us in Caring for Creation

More than just a cleanup, this is a chance to live out our shared responsibility to love and care for the world around us. As we serve together, we are reminded that small acts of stewardship can have a lasting impact on our environment and our community.

Join us as we work together to restore and protect this beautiful watershed area for future generations. Every helping hand makes a difference!
