Faith Climate Action Week 2020

Please choose distributed events for now, or plan for in-person events with your congregation or  community much later.  There are options included for individuals and households that can be done together-apart using your congregational social media or e-newsletter.

Faith Climate Action Week is officially April 17-26, 2020, but we encourage people to extend earlier or later as you wish, particularly by creating a series of events and actions to grow a season of loving earth and loving one another, that might stretch handily from Valentine’s Day to Earth Day.

The theme this year is Love Made Visible, and activity supports include a wide range of ideas for groups big and small, and even for households to do separately, then share their experiences with friends and neighbors,  or in their congregations.  Check out the links below on how to participate and download a flyer to share with your congregation!

As part of Faith Climate Action week, joyfully plant and care for trees to show our love for one another and our common home. You can report trees here that you have planted at your home, at your congregation, or if you purchased trees to be planted elsewhere.
