Mark Climate Sunday in your church

Sunday 6 September is Climate Sunday and marks the first Sunday in the annual season of Creationtide.

This year, as part of a new initiative to combat climate change, A Rocha UK are encouraging Christian churches of all denominations to take action linked to a national Climate Sunday event on 5 September 2021.

Churches are invited to do one or more of the following three things:

• Hold a Climate-focused service, thinking about and praying for creation care.
• Make a commitment as a church community to take long-term action in reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
• Call for the UK government to be bold and courageous in leading the UK’s response to climate change.

The Bishop of Salisbury, Nicholas Holtam, said:

“Climate Sunday will be a brilliant resource to help Church of England parishes understand and respond to the climate crisis. As we work out how to cut our carbon emissions every year to reach net zero emissions by 2030, Climate Sunday will motivate, encourage and inspire our churches to keep going on this journey.”
