Sponsored by the United Methodist Creation Justice Movement, the informal, virtual space of the monthly Movement Café facilitates conversation, connection, and community focused on creation care and justice issues. The meetings are held over Zoom and you need to register to obtain the code.
Let’s talk community resilience and climate change. Every church and every community from “safe havens” such as North Georgia, to known hot-zones such as Louisiana and Florida. At the April 16th Café, we will speak with those leading the resilience efforts in the denomination. A focus will include the new and essential development of “Resilience Hubs.” No one can face an (un) natural disaster alone, not heat, not storms, not fires, not floods. Resilience is something we do together.
The April 16 Café will feature Stories of Congregations and Annual Conferences working to build Resilience Hubs for their communities. Featuring Scott Parrish, North Georgia Conference Disaster Response Coordinator, Shawn Anglim, FirstGrace UMC New Orleans, Community Lighthouse initiative and Cara Fleischer, Florida Annual Conference Creation Care Task Team.
