Moderator’s Message for Earth Week
Earth Week Celebrated April 20th to 27th
~ from a post on The United Church of Canada’s website
The gifts of Creation are bountiful, from the thousands of animals with whom we share our land, to the water which sustains our lives. But the warming of the planet caused by greenhouse gas emissions poses a grave threat to its harmony. Climbing temperatures and extreme weather events continue to damage our communities. Deep, bold, and daring action must be taken. Let’s act together during Earth Week, April 20-27, 2025.
— Moderator the Right Rev. Dr. Carmen Lansdowne
During Earth Week 2025, The United Church of Canada is joining with numerous denominations and faith-based organizations under one banner, Together for the Love of Creation.
Communities of faith, networks, and regions are invited to initiate and participate in climate justice events during the week of April 20‒27 to pray, learn, and act for the love of Creation.
This is a tremendous opportunity for the church to lift up and strengthen the ways that we are putting our house in order by reducing our carbon footprint; raising our spirited voices through advocacy efforts; connecting with the earth; responding to climate impacts; and challenging ourselves to be deep, bold, and daring.
