Methodist young people urge the Church to Stem the Tide of Climate Change
To help churches engage in a Month of Action an array of mostly downloadable resources are being provided. These include material for use in children's and youth groups, all age worship, Bible study, sermons and more. Posters, postcards and Top Tips pocket cards, printed on recycled paper, will be sent to every church later this month. Although Stem The Tide is being launched in May, churches can choose to take their Month of Action at any time. It is hoped that the initiative will lead to long term change and consideration for the environment. For more information visit: |
Take a Month of Action at your church and help Stem The Tide of Climate Change. This is the challenge made by Methodist children and young people who are very concerned about the effects of the changing climate.
