CLWR – FRIENDS OF CREATION CHALLENGE
We join congregations across Canada in CLWR’s Friends of Creation campaign. Over the coming months, we’ll reflect on God’s call to steward the earth by looking at how climate intersects with food, water, peace, and local economies around Lake Chad, at the frontlines of climate change. Together, we’ll reflect, pray, and have a chance to take action to help restore land and livelihoods in one of the world’s most vulnerable regions.
