CONFERENCE ANNUAL FALL GATHERING: OCTOBER 5

Caring for God’s Creation: Climate Justice, Environmental Racism

By Linda K, MN Conference UWFaith Program Coordinator

Join us Saturday, October 5, 2024, 9:00am until 2:30pm at Centennial UMC (1524 Co. Rd. C2 West) in Roseville for an informative and engaging day learning about environmental racism, discovering how you can steward God’s creation, and finding ways to protect those who are disproportionately affected by the climate crisis. 

Our guest speaker, Executive for Economic and Environmental Justice at UWF National Ilka Vega (pictured above right), will present an overview of the Just Energy for All campaign, its achievements over the past six years, and how our organization is addressing environmental racism. 

Also joining us will be a presenter from Minnesota Interfaith Power and Light to talk about how our churches can become Certified Climate Justice Congregations.
