Climate Summit

The VA Board of Church and Society’s Creation Justice Team is holding the 1st VAUMC Climate Summit on Saturday, March 8, 9:30 am – 4:00 pm at Randolph-Macon College, Ashland, VA. YOU ARE INVITED!  We are gathering VAUMC leadership (stakeholders) at Conference, District and Church levels to rethink our understanding and action around Climate change/justice and its intersection with racial justice. We will gather to connect and learn why we are the key to VAUMC response to Sustainability in climate change, and our response to the Net Zero by 2050 resolution passed at 2024 Annual Conference. We are also asking our youth to come-special workshops for them and for youth leaders at a reduced price of $5.

We have a nationally known Keynote Speaker (Michele Roberts-Scientist turned Climate Activist,) time to connect with other conferees and the choice of two workshops in the afternoon. Lunch at Randolph Macon’s cafeteria is included in the $25 registration fee.

If you have questions, or would like to carpool, please contact Karen McElfish (james.mcelfish@verizon.net) or Jaydee Hanson (jaydeehanson@gmail.com)
