Annual Conference Season swept over The United Methodist Church with goodwill overflowing from the General Conference session, newly forming relationships and connections, and a joy for justice. For the United Methodist Creation Justice Movement, this joy found expression in creation and environmental stewardship legislation across the jurisdictions.

In this issue, read about how the church-roots of Methodism are rising with enthusiasm to care for this good Earth, our home. Many annual conferences submitted and passed resolutions to further the effort in their regions. United Methodists also held workshops, cheered on youth and reporting teams, celebrated grant funding and energy improvements, and at least two, Virginia and California-Nevada, plan summits upcoming this year.

As usual, with so much goodness here, the table overflows. As you read through this good news, be inspired! Then, assemble your green team, creation care team, or a willing group of friends, and plan your next steps.
