Awake, all souls, to truth and light!

Gone is last year as one long night.

In this New Year we have the chance

For care of Earth to much advance!

Reflect God’s Image: Love the Earth

as God did when God gave it birth!

And help create—as is God’s call—

a healthy planet for us all!

Happy, Healthy, and Blessed New Year to all God’s People, Creatures, and Creation!

With love from Trinity Environmental Stewardship Team (TEST).
