Missourian to be Commissioned as Earthkeeper
Global Ministries will commission 57 new EarthKeepers in an online service on Tuesday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m. This service will affirm the EarthKeepers in their call to the ministry of creation care and bless their work in their communities. The service will be livestreamed at [link removed] www.facebook.com/GlobalMinistries. Global Ministries EarthKeepers is a training program to equip United Methodists in the United States for environmental stewardship. Participants discuss theology, United Methodist resources, community organizing and anti-racism, and then use what they learn to develop an environmental project for their churches and communities. The program is both a launchpad for people looking to turn an idea into action and an incubator for people who want to deepen an existing ministry. Participants develop plans in conversation with their peers, troubleshooting ideas and sharing strategies. This year’s EarthKeepers represent 23 annual conferences and all five jurisdictions. The group includes clergy, laity, a mission advocate, and agency and conference staff. Susan March, a member of Wilkes Blvd. UMC in Columbia, is the only person from Missouri to be commissioned this year.
