Presbyterians for Earth Care - Thank You for Prayers & Support AND Link to Inspiring Webinar

Dear Friend of Presbyterians for Earth Care,  Thank you for your prayers, your participation and your support of PEC efforts to help churches and individuals care for God’s creation.   In 2023, Presbyterians for Earth Care (PEC) offered 11 monthly webinars and 33 conference offerings (worship, Bible studies and workshops) with live opportunities for learning led by outstanding leaders that inspired action in a variety of ways to care for God’s creation and counter the climate crisis.  These talks are all posted on YouTube for individual, church and community use for free (see “events” section of PEC webpage).     PEC had a wonderful conference in September meeting in person at three locations (Virginia, Minnesota and California) with all of the events streaming online that offered times of fellowship and learning.  We had a PEC presence at the COP 28 meeting in December at Dubai, United Arab Emirates (look for a report on it in January).  The  Advent Daily Devotional offered insights and action ideas from a diverse group of gifted writers.  Our PEC Coordinator, Steering Committee members and other PEC members have helped countless individuals and congregations to better care for God’s creation in 2023.   General Assembly overtures to help Presbyterians counter the climate crisis are being finalized now for congregations and presbyteries to consider in the next few months.  More is being planned for 2024 – come to our January 21 annual membership meeting to celebrate.     I had a speech teacher in seminary who said, “The more important the occasion, the briefly be.”  He gave the example of Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address.  So, please consider making an end-of-the-year gift (or beginning-of-the year gift) to support the work of Presbyterians for Earth Care. Click here to give online.   Please donate here today so we can finish 2023 strong and do more in 2024. Thank you!   Blessings on you, your loved ones and your care of God’s creation.   Grace and Peace,   Bruce Gillette Moderator, Presbyterians for Earth Care
