The Greater Dayton Christian Connections exists to connect Christians, churches, and organizations to transform lives and to build loving, reconciling communities.
We value faith in Jesus Christ through respecting God's creation - all persons and the natural order; through promoting Christian unity in worship, prayer, learning, mission and service; through contributing to the well-being of our community by being bridge builders, agents of reconciliation and advocates for justice; and through responsible stewardship of our financial resources.

Descendants Day - Limits of Resource Extraction06/24/2012 04:00 p.m. – 08:00 p.m. @ George Rogers Clark Park, Rt 4 and 369, west of Springfield Fracking, mountain top removal, tar sands ... as it gets more difficult to extract natural gas, coal and oil from the earth, how do the people of God respond? Do we recognize limits in creation? Can we find the path to sustainability that nature shows us?
Every year, Creation Connection hosts an interfaith gathering to pray and educate around an issue of environmental justice. Descendants Day emphasizes Loving Your Neighbor Through Time, that is, reflecting on the importance of our choices on the lives of future generations. We share a meal and spend time in fun and fellowship as well. Several faith traditions provide leadership in prayer.
Let Descendants Day this year be a time of prayerful reflection on the impact of mineral resource extraction on the earth, and our call to live sustainably.
