Season of Creation Webinar Series (NCC Creation Care)
September 3 @ 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm
How will your church participate in September’s Season of Creation?
Every year during the month of September, Christians around the world celebrate the Season of Creation by celebrating the good world that God has made, and educating themselves on how they can be better stewards of God’s good creation.
Your NCCUMC Creation Care Committee invites you to participate in the Season of Creation in several ways.
Weekly Webinar Series in September
Each Tuesday in September at 7pm, join us via Zoom for a webinar where we’ll hear about exciting ways our congregations can begin or continue the work of caring for creation. Click each date below to register for each session.
- September 3, 7-8pm: Roundtable discussion about local church creation care teams – how to start them, and what the possibilities are. This roundtable will feature Epworth UMC, Centenary UMC, and SALT (a New Faith Community in Wilmington).
- September 10, 7-8pm: We will be joined by Ilka Vega, the Executive for Economic and Environmental Justice at United Women in Faith. Ilka will share with us about the United Women in Faith’s Just Energy for All initiative.
- September 17, 7-8pm: Did you know that your church can receive a free energy audit? And become a Certified Green Church within the Conference? Hear more about both of these opportunities from our very own John Rees of Waste Reduction Partners.
- September 24, 7-8pm: Finish out the Season of Creation by learning how you or your church can engage in advocacy at the local, state, and national levels. This webinar will be led by Rev. Keith Sexton, a pastor in the NCCUMC, climate advocate, and advocacy trainer.
