Mission 4/1 Earth

ONE UNITED CHURCH on a shared resurrection witness for Planet Earth during 50 great days, from Easter to Pentecost: that's Mission 4/1 Earth!

United Church of Christ congregations, colleges, seminaries, camps and outdoor ministries, and health and human service agencies will join together in a shared mission campaign to:
• Collectively offer more than ONE MILLION HOURS of engaged earth care, including clean up, advocacy, education, and behavioral changes that will impact the environment.
• Collectively plant more than 100,000 TREES locally and globally in partnership with the National Arbor Day Foundation and the UCC's denominational partners around the world.
• Collectively write and send more than 100,000 ADVOCACY LETTERS on environmental concerns to elected officials and local and national newspapers.

Here on Whole Earth Ministry, we will be posting: practical suggestions for engaged Earth care, Earth meditations each Wednesday and Sunday, information to support letter writing, and reports from our congregation's activities.
