We love creating free monthly worship and small group ministry resources for you – all focused on Earth care and climate justice. We publish the information two months in advance of the time you’ll actually use them.

And so here in February 2024, we bring you the resources for April 2024 Earth Day! We have included some bonus materials, all of which you’ll find below.

Earth Day Worship and Small Group Ministry Resources 

Protecting What We Love. These resources help you and your congregation celebrate Earth Day, express your deep devotion to all life, and recommit to protecting what we love.

Visit our website for an overview of Monthly Musings along with past issues. And this Google folder is where you can find the content in both PDF and Google Doc format.

Spiritual Care for Climate Distress, Anxiety and Grief

The climate crisis is an everything crisis. It is an environmental crisis, an infrastructure crisis, a political, social, and economic crisis.  It’s a health crisis, and it has become an emotional and spiritual crisis.

There is no quick fix, and yet research shows that gathering in community to companion one another is a primary strategy for addressing this distress. Churches are perfectly situated to do this. When we metabolize our feelings together, we prevent becoming paralyzed and can commit to meaningful action together.  We have developed three resources for you to use:

Worship Resources

2.5 Hour Workshop

Four Small Group Ministry Sessions

Facilitator training is available.

Climate Justice at the Intersections of Congregational Life 

Climate justice does not need to be a standalone effort done by a few people in the congregation. How do we bring our love for Earth, community and the future into all we do? The key is relationships. How is your climate justice team building relationships across the congregation – not to force an agenda, but to consider ways you can work together?
