SUMMARY:Contemplatives in Action - Mindfulness in the UCC
DESCRIPTION:Pause\, breathe\, and come learn about how the UCC is joining the mindfulness movement. Following the Contemplatives in Action Resolution\, passed at the 2021 General Synod\, a working group of clergy\, students\, and lay leaders have been meeting regularly to pray and meditate on how to incorporate more contemplative practices into our UCC communities. The Christian tradition is rich with stories from those with direct experience of the Holy Spirit\, but many find the more esoteric side of spirituality to be intimidating or inaccessible. We are here to tell you\, there is so much more to meditation than silence. Join us\, and expand your mind.

SUMMARY:Restoring Nature: What People of Faith Can Do to Heal the Earth
DESCRIPTION:Restoring Nature: What People of Faith Can Do to Heal the Earth\nDouglas Tallamy’s books have awakened thousands to the problem of wildlife decline and the solution that resides in habitat restoration. This is a solution of which you and your faith community can be a part. The solution can be as close as your backyard or the property surrounding your place of worship. In this webinar\, Tallamy will outline the crisis faced and what we can do in response. The green teams and green thumbs of faith communities will learn not only about cultivating native plants in the landscapes around them\, but also what can be done to create a transformative movement full of actions ordinary people everywhere can take. To care for God’s creation\, we can start by simply stepping outside the doors of where we gather for worship to make the most of our sacred places. In this webinar\, Tallamy will raise our awareness and equip us to make a difference in our world. \nThis webinar 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. Carol Devine who serves as the Minister of Green Chalice for the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).
