Many thanks to the dozens of people who attended some part of the Climate Revival weekend! We had a great turnout for Saturday’s gathering and leaned in to naming the challenging realities we face and also the community care we can embrace. In worship, we blended some resources from the UUA and from our own hearts, raising our voices in song, feeling the weightiness of the climate disasters and losses we are facing, and leaning into the possibilities of what we can re-imagine for a new Era with Love at the Center.
Because of the horrible disasters that Hurricane Helene was wreaking, we changed the special collection to the UUA Disaster Relief Fund. If you were not in attendance on Sunday, see the request below and if you can, give as generously as possible.
As we bridged between worship and the advocacy hour, all who attended were invited to call the Governor’s office. When we consulted with the Green Sanctuary Team, they suggested that folks in the congregation contact the Governor’s office and encourage her to sign the Climate Superfund Act, which has already passed the State Senate and Assembly. We offered instructions and support, especially for those who may have never done this before. See the Green Sanctuary announcement below for more info.
Many thanks to all who attended, all who volunteered, all who participated in any or all of the activities this weekend, and to the Staff who helped, too. Together, we can make a difference in so many ways!
We hope to offer another opportunity to have a Climate Revival in an online format. Stay tuned!
With genuine appreciation and deep gratitude for this Earth and our denomination,
Rev. Wendy and Rev. Lynn
