Shincheonji Jemulpo Church and Children Take Action for the Environment Through Plogging

Small Steps for a Cleaner Earth 🌍

On October 26, Shincheonji Church of Jesus, Jemulpo Church (led by Pastor Kim Su-cheon) held a plogging event — a fun and meaningful activity where participants jog while picking up litter — together with local children to raise awareness about environmental protection.

Before heading out, the church hosted an eco-education session titled “Small Actions That Can Save the Earth.”
During the class, the children shared their own ideas for living more sustainably, such as:

• using tumblers instead of disposable cups,

• carrying handkerchiefs instead of tissues,

• and bringing reusable shopping bags.

Their enthusiasm showed how even young hearts can take part in protecting the planet.

Learning by Doing 💚

After the session, the children put their lessons into practice by picking up litter around the church neighborhood.

“There were so many paper cups on the street,” one child said. “I think everyone should use real cups instead.”

Another added,

“It was so much fun plogging — I want to do it again!”

Their cheerful energy and thoughtful reflections made the activity both educational and heartwarming.

50 Plogging Events and Counting ♻️

Since July 2024, Jemulpo Church has organized regular plogging sessions three to four times a month, inviting members of all ages — from children to the elderly — to join.
In just over a year, they have completed about 50 plogging events, showing continuous commitment to caring for their community and the environment.

A church representative shared,

“This plogging event was especially meaningful because the children took the lead as ‘little guardians of the environment.’ We will continue these activities so that even more members can take part in protecting the earth.”

Faith in Action 🌱

Through these ongoing efforts, Shincheonji Jemulpo Church demonstrates that faith and action can go hand in hand.
From small hands picking up litter to shared lessons about caring for creation, every step contributes to a cleaner and kinder world — one neighborhood at a time.
