Climate Action Team (CAT)
Our Climate Action Team has invited speakers and sponsored events to educate and inspire, challenging ourselves, our congregation, and our community to make better choices and to change our behaviors in positive ways. Climate change affects each of us, and it is also a social justice issue we are passionate about. Climate-forced mass-displacement, including increasing food and water insecurity, poses disproportionately affects vulnerable populations. Our Climate Action Team has merged with our Social Justice Team.
