Transcript of video message
Walking in Creation, I am filled with a love for all that surrounds me—the trees, the birds, the sky, the animals, the water. This abundant life is hurt and threatened by our greenhouse gas emissions and consequent warming of the planet. Livelihoods around the world are being disrupted.
We need to summon up this fierce love and act together.
For the second year, The United Church joins many other organizations of faith celebrating Earth Week under the banner of Together for the Love of Creation.
During Earth Week, April 21‒28, you are invited to initiate and participate in climate justice events:
- to pray and connect with the Earth
- to learn and to share
- and to act for climate justice
Last year, more than 80 communities of faith participated. Together, we can make this year even bigger with wider impact.
What will you do? Ideas and resources are available on our webpage. Events will be posted on an interactive map.
Change takes all of us. Each action brings hope. Let’s make hope visible across the country. During Earth Week, April 21‒28, 2024, let’s show up For the Love of Creation.
