March 2025 Green Sanctuary Recording and Resources
Huge thanks to Deb and Sheila from the UU Church of Berkeley for talking through the ways their congregation Explored the Possibilities for Mitigation using the new materials! We enjoyed a robust discussion about the new materials and the ways the UU Climate Justice Revival works together with the revitalized Green Sanctuary Materials.
The new Green Sanctuary 2030 materials are designed for more action, less paperwork! Instead of a process where teams have to report a ton of information to the UUA, the new materials are here to support your congregation. As one presenter said, “Having this plan gave me confidence. I never would have attempted anything so ambitious without the support of this plan.” If you haven’t downloaded the new materials, check them out!
Mark your calendars for the upcoming Green Sanctuary Celebration and Call for Renewal with President Sofía on April 16 from 7-8:30 ET. RSVP today!
If you had to leave early or weren’t able to make it, you can watch the video or review the slides and materials shared.
