Happy September, UU Ministry for Earth (UUMFE) Community!  This is the month we’ve been waiting for – the month that kicks off the UU Climate Justice Revival. UUMFE has been co-facilitating this project for over a year. It’s been my honor to work with all the planners; they are one of the best teams I’ve been part of during my entire career. And it’s a joy to work with many of you as you prepare to host your Revival. Below, you’ll see the training and the “office hours” available to you. September also brings the Fall Equinox when day and night are equal in length, just before the days become shorter than nights. This shift in season can inspire our work for climate justice, and you can learn more about how – at our Full Moon Gathering. I always look forward to seeing you and hearing from you. With care, Rev. Kelly Dignan |

 A Curriculum for Spiritual Care for Climate Distress, Anxiety and Grief The climate crisis has become an emotional and spiritual crisis. We can become immobilized with distress and unmotivated to act for climate justice. There is no quick fix, and yet research shows that gathering in community is a primary strategy for addressing this distress. We developed this curriculum for exactly these reasons! It helps participants: Name and honor our feelings together, prevent becoming paralyzed, and recommit to meaningful action. There are options for workshops and whole congregation worship. Check it out here. |

Vegan Fried Green Tomatoes Its that time of the year where the Fall chill is in the air but so many tomatoes are still green. This is a delicious way to use up all that unripe backyard produce. Play with the recipe and add whatever spices you like. Around here we like to add some garam masala or ground cumin.
