Presbyterians for Earth Care Autumnal Equinox Devotional Gathering and Membership Meeting Thursday, September 22nd at 7:30 p.m. EST (4:30 PST) In a season between the heat and light of summer and the darker, colder days of winter, the equinox is a day that marks the balance in creation.  In prayer, remembrance, and readings we'll explore the beginning of fall as marked by the autumnal equinox. Following our devotion, we will have a time of discussion of upcoming PEC events and an opportunity for membership to vote to approve a committee to develop and nominate a slate of Steering Committee Members for 2023.  We hope you can join us!   Here is the information needed to participate: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/86169846745?pwd=VFVudFF2UzA2ak1KZlpndzNpM29Rdz09 Meeting ID: 861 6984 6745 Passcode: 860425   Sept. 27 Webinar:  Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis The starting point for In Deep Waters: Spiritual Care for Young People in a Climate Crisis is not news: the world as we know it is shifting. Several millennia of climate stability have come to an abrupt end. But, observes author Talitha Amadea Aho, the young people of today do not remember stability. They see the world through crisis-colored glasses. Climate change is creating a spiritual emergency that is hitting their generation harder than any other. Today’s climate crisis calls people of faith to a communal spiritual practice of care, especially for those who are more vulnerable because of their youth–the children, youth, and young adults of Generation Z. We must learn how to offer spiritual care that is informed by the spiritual-ecological crisis of their generation. The Rev. Aho guides us with her pastoral and chaplain experience to keep young people at the center of our communities and listen to the troubles they have to share. Whether you are a Gen Z peer or a caring adult of any other generation, this webinar will show you how to offer ecologically informed spiritual care. Date: Tuesday, September 27, 2022 Time: 7:00 pm Eastern (4:00 pm Pacific) Presenter: Talitha Amadea Aho REGISTER HERE
