SUMMARY:Getting Ready for Earth Sunday: Resources for Congregations
DESCRIPTION:With the recently released report from the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change\, the dire situation faced by our world has never been clearer. In such a moment\, leadership from communities of faith is sorely needed. Thankfully\, Creation Justice Ministries has created an ecumenical resource that will assist churches in answering the call placed upon us in this moment. The resource is entitled “Weathering the Storm: Faithful Climate Resilience.” It specifically helps churches respond to the question\, “How can our churches be hubs of resilience\, helping our neighbors weather the physical and spiritual storms of the climate crisis?” The resource can be used year-round and is also particularly useful in preparing for Earth Sunday (April 24th). In this webinar\, Avery Davis Lamb\, Co-Executive Director of Creation Justice Ministries\, will introduce the resource and talk about specific ways churches can deliver a powerful message and experience on Earth Sunday. \nEven if you cannot make the webinar at its scheduled time\, still sign-up\, and we will send you a link to a recording of it. \nThis monthly installment of Creation Justice Webinars is co-hosted by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt who serves as the Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ and the Rev. Michael Malcom who serves as the Executive Director for Alabama Interfaith Power & Light and the People’s Justice Council.

SUMMARY:The Faith of Prophets: Lessons for the Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:The best-selling Catholic writer Joan Chittister has written\, “What this world needs most right now is a new generation of prophets.” This is especially true as we confront the climate crisis today. Yet\, we can no longer wait for others to be the prophets that were needed yesterday. We have to find the prophet in each of us. We are the ones who can make a profound difference right now. To answer the urgent call for prophetic action today\, this event will focus on what the Hebrew Prophets can teach us as well as what current prophetic leaders have to say. The event will consist of three parts: \n\nOpening Keynote via Zoom: “Why Prophets Matter Today” by the Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt\, Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ (10:30 am to 11:30 am ET).\nPanel Discussion via Zoom: “Prophetic Action Today” with the Rev. Michael Malcom from the People’s Justice Council\, Nellis Kennedy-Howard from Honor the Earth\, and Hector Arbuckle from the Ames Climate Action Team (11:45 am to 12:45 pm ET).\nLocal Action in Your Own Community: Create and deliver a community climate collage to the district office of your Congressional Representative or Senator. (Learn more at: https://bit.ly/PropheticAction)\n\nThis event arose of the 37th Ames UCC Annual Theologian in Residence program. The National Setting of the United Church of Christ\, the Iowa Conference of the United Church of Christ\, and the Central Association of the Iowa Conference have all partnered with Ames UCC to make this event a national and regional offering during the celebration of Earth Month. Additional organizations supporting this event will soon be named. \nRegistration for this event covers both the opening keynote and the panel discussion. Registrants will receive links to recordings of the event afterwards.
