  • Views from the Greenways
    Views from the Greenways MISSION & VISION FOR GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY MISSION OF GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY Great Rivers Greenway makes the St. Louis region a more vibrant place to live, work and play by developing a network of greenways to connect people to their rivers, parks and communities. VISION OF GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY The residents of the St. Louis region voted for and invested in a clear, bold vision – a dynamic network of parks and open spaces linked together by greenways, connecting our communities so people can live life outside. The network of greenways strengthens the social, economic and environmental well-being of our region. Community members proudly invest in, care for and champion greenways for years to come. WHAT IS A GREENWAY? Greenways are outdoor spaces connecting people and places. More than just a trail, each greenway is unique, with neighborhoods, businesses, parks and rivers to explore. You can take a walk, go for a run, ride a bike, or get some fresh air. WHO IS GREAT RIVERS GREENWAY? Great Rivers Greenway is a regional parks and trails district, created by a vote of the people in the year 2000 to leave a legacy for future generations. That vote created a sales tax that funds our district to build, bring to life and care for the network of greenways. Our district includes the 1,200 square miles and nearly 2 million citizens in St. Louis City, St. Louis County and St. Charles County. BOSCHERT GREENWAY St. Charles County The Boschert Greenway links the Missouri River and the Katy Trail, goes through Historic Downtown St.

    Lent Outside A 4 0 H O U R A D V E N T U R E Connecting our mind, body, and spirit to the beauty of God's creation #stlfm40 In God's hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all humankind. - Job 12:10 Lent Outside – A 40 Hour Adventure Sponsored by STL Family Ministry Partnership #stlfm40 During the season of Lent, let’s connect our mind, body, and spirit with the outdoors. Lent is the 40 days (not including Sundays) that lead us into Easter. It starts with Ash Wednesday and ends on Holy Saturday. The 40 days symbolize the time Jesus spent in the wilderness. Lent is a time of waiting and reflection. This is a time for us to focus on our relationship with God, connection with the Earth, and growing as Disciples of Christ. 2021 has continued to prove challenging in terms of gathering. However, being outside is always an option! Therefore, our challenge to you during this season is to get outside and use the 40 hour Lenten adventure to connect with nature. In this activity packet you will find a list of St. Louis parks, a scavenger hunt, devotions/prayers, family friendly outside activities, and mission opportunities. Anytime you find yourself outside and immersed in God’s creation, take time to reflect and be thankful for all that we do have. Soak up the sunshine (even on chilly days), and connect physically, mentally, and spiritually to your surroundings. Find joy in all things great and small. Don’t forget to fill-in your Lenten butterfly as you spend hours outside AND post pictures using #stlfm40 so we can share in this special time together.
