glasgowyouth — 2021-03-26 14:22:55 UTC

Take your church or organisation on a journey that helps them see responding to the climate emergency as part of their discipleship and worship. Make space for people to learn more, ask questions and share their reactions to climate change.”

CHRISTIAN AID PRAYER CHAIN

glasgowyouth — 2021-03-26 14:34:26 UTC

This year is crucial in the struggle for climate justice. To rise to the challenge, we must underpin it in prayer. Prayer that will amplify prophetic voices and transform us and the actions that we take. Prayer that will help us to understand God’s care for those who are most affected by the climate crisis, acknowledge our role in causing it and start anew. Prayer that will act as a deep source of energy for the struggle ahead.

Alongside our friends at CAFOD and Tearfund, and people all over the world, Christian Aid will fill every day with prayer for a world where everyone can flourish and creation can breathe easy again.

Here is a quick guide to some possibilities.

#RisetotheMoment - YCCN Info Evening

glasgowyouth — 2021-08-18 08:02:39 UTC

On the 6^th September, Glasgow Churches Together, along with Christian Aid, SCIAF and Tearfund would love you and people from your church to come along to hear from members of YCCN.

Together we will hear about:

· the changes that need to happen if a climate catastrophe is to be avoided;

· what needs to happen if the world’s poorest are not to suffer the most;

· what we can do to support the work of YCCN as they travel to Glasgow and while they are in the city.

The YCCN pilgrims have walked with a small, specially crafted boat all the way from Cornwall. It is a recognition that whilst we are all caught in the same storm, we are not all in the same boat. Climate Change, like Covid-19, is impacting the poorest and most marginalised the hardest. As Christians, as human beings, we have a responsibility to challenge that injustice.

Join us on 6^th September @ 7.30pm on zoom

This year is crucial in the struggle for climate justice. To rise to the challenge, we must underpin it in prayer.

Our prayers will spur us to take further action and encourage our leaders to deliver climate justice at COP26.

As we journey towards COP26 we are joining the Young Christian Climate Network (YCCN) in a pilgrimage for climate justice. Amplify the demands of the relay by creating a prayer boat.

We are building a fleet of prayer boats that will set sail for climate justice and cannot be ignored by world leaders.
