Join Interfaith Power & Light (IPL) for Virtual Faith Climate Action Week (FCAW) – the nationwide movement of people of faith and conscience acting on climate. This year’s theme is “Love Made Visible: Engaging in Sacred Activism” to protect the people we love who are most impacted by climate change. The 2020 FCAW kit includes a Sacred Activism guide on the importance of people of faith taking part in civic engagement, suggestions for activism challenges, and a Sacred Activism Art Guide to create eye-catching banners and placards with faith-based messaging. Click here to download the kit for materials and virtual action ideas.
We invite you to join us virtually on our Facebook page every morning at 9 a.m. as we launch our series “Lift Up Your Hearts: Words of Strength and Faith from the Council.” Each morning, a member of our staff will offer reflective meditations to center and ground us as we navigate these times of uncertainty. We hear you, we see you, and we are in this together.

For the Kids from the Council:
Gather your kids and the young at heart! We’ve really been missing our network—especially our congregations. We’re used to being physically with you, having conversations in person, and discussing important environmental issues in real-time. That’s why our NCIPL Program Coordinator is launching NCIPL’s Eco-Story Hour on Wednesday, April 1st, at noon!Sarah Ogletree will be reading from her collection of environmental children’s books on Facebook. Topics will include composting, the local food movement, the life of Rachel Carson, all the wonders of bugs, St. Francis of Assisi, and so much more!
This is a way for us to stay connected with our community, and hopefully, offer you and your family a way to stay in touch with your values during this time. So please, join us for our first Eco-Story Hour on April 1st at noon! If you can’t make it at noon, rest assured that the videos will stay up for your convenience. See you then!
