Presbyterians for Earth Care - CANOPY Webinar This Week + Solstice Service


WEBINAR THIS THURSDAY:

Thinking Environmentally with Presbyterian Young Adults

Environmental justice is an activating and vital issue for young people considering their futures on this planet. Some of these folks have come together as the Creation Action Network of Presbyterian Young Adults. Let’s hear what they have to say! Learn about this new space; come think with and alongside people ages 18-35 doing faith-based activism. Hear about the environmental justice issues that are close to the heart of this group, and explore some of the theological underpinnings motivating their work.

WEBINAR DATE: Thursday, December 4, 2025
Time: 7:30 pm Eastern (6:30 Central, 5:30 Mountain, 4:30 Pacific)
PRESENTER: Emma Marshall, CANOPY Organizer

Emma Marshall is the organizer for the Creation Action Network of Presbyterian Young Adults (CANOPY). She is a recent graduate of Princeton Seminary (MDiv) and is in the final year of her MSW program at Rutgers University School of Social Work. Emma is a Washington, D.C.-area native currently calling New Jersey home. She is a candidate for ordination in the National Capital Presbytery and has a vocation to serve in congregations thinking creatively and expansively about what it means to do and be church in their communities. Emma can almost always be found right next to her dog, Daphne.


Attention to and action around eco-justice is more needed in our denomination and in our world today than ever. PEC has worked to live out that calling for the last 30 years—to connect with the Spirit of the Living God as we care for creation. Through your generous support, PEC helps Presbyterians around the world connect, equip, and inspire one another to care for creation in community.


Together, we:

• Host monthly webinars and maintain an expanding library of recorded resources

• Offer bilingual Advent and Lenten devotionals and other worship tools

• Lead a nationwide Zoom Bible study on God’s call to steward creation

• Provide monthly “creation care tips” for church bulletins and newsletters

• Gather for a conference that renews and equips our community

• Support young adult leadership through CANOPY (Creation Action Network of Presbyterian Young Adults)

• Advocate at all levels of church and government


Your gifts make all this possible, and we cannot do this work without your financial support. As a nonprofit, PEC relies on the generosity of individuals, congregations, and organizations who share this calling. Please prayerfully consider making a generous gift today to sustain this ministry. Your support helps PEC continue to lead our denomination toward sustainable, joyful ways of living on this planet. You can make your tax-deductible gift a one-time or monthly donation—or use your contribution as an alternative gift for someone who loves the earth as much as you.

Please join us online for a program that will take us from the science of the Solstice to the pagan worship which surrounds the events leading to seeing that the darkness of the day still allows for the coming light of Christ. The mood will be somber but enlightening.
