An abundance of vibrant colorful life is emerging from long warm summer days. Our United Methodist seaon of conferencing is producing good fruits for creation justice too. This newsletter celebrates an abundance of news including decisions to divest from fossil fuels, support for a just transition to a green economy, conference supports for congregational changes, and much more. Please read through the articles below and be inspired to take action in your contexts too. (In fact this newsletter is so jam packed with news, you should click the link at the top to “view this email in your browser” to see everything as it is likely truncated in your inbox).

We also share the beautiful fruits of the worship team that has been working long and hard on the new Feast of Creation + Creation in Christ Worship Series and Adult Study materials entitled Salt+Soil+Seawater.

Since summer brings heat and volatile weather, our July 15 Movement Café offers us a chance to hear more about the latest climate science from Dr. Jamie Trammell with reflections from Advocacy Team Leader Andrew Hartley on how we might respond faithfully.

Finally, in the midst of all this good work, we hope you are filling your summer days with an abundance of rest and re-creation too.
