The Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation Group (JPIC) is seeking to build a network of Commitment for Life Advocates and Green Apostles across the Synod. 

To find out more about JPIC or becoming an Advocate or Green Apostle, please email: training@urc5.org.uk

JPIC is here to promote crucial aspects of Christian Mission: to transform unjust structures of society, pursue peace and reconciliation, sustain and renew the life of the Earth. We meet regularly on Zoom and have supported, among other things, the Synod's new Environmental Policy and congregations wanting to become Eco Churches.

Of special note this year is the call for ALL churches to hold a special Climate-focused service on any Sunday before 5 September. Then a nation-wide Climate Sunday will be observed on Sunday 5 September 2021, prior to COP26 (the international conference to be hosted by the UK government in Glasgow this year). You may well be waiting for some semblance of normality to return to arrange your service! 

For details please visit: www.climatesunday.org  or for resources go straight to: Climate Sunday | Resources | Worship | Commit | Speak Up . There is an excellent range of resources including inspiring sermons and ideas for services.
