Earthkeeper Training Deadline Approaching

From the General Board of Global Ministries

We welcome United Methodist laity and clergy in the USA to join us for the Fall 2024 EarthKeepers Training to take your project idea from concept to reality. This action-oriented project incubator experience includes Scripture, eco-theology, community organizing, anti-racism, networking, and project planning for your own community, congregation, or local setting. The only cost to you is transportation to and from the training location of your choice (preferably the closest option). Online assignments start September 12 to be prepared for the in-person weekend, October 3–6. Applications are due August 14.
