SUMMARY:Sunday Service: Truth\, Courage and Solutions for the Climate Crisis
DESCRIPTION:Mary Bennett and Rosemary Cornell\nHow can you make a difference in changing the direction of climate change? What can Unitarians do–whether locally\, regionally or nationally? How can you talk about the climate crisis to people who seem uncommitted to change? These and other questions will be explored by Mary Bennett and Rosemary Cornell\, members of the UCV Environment Team. Mary and Rosemary are in a 10-session circle inspired by the work in “All We Can Save: Truth\, Courage and Solutions for the Climate Crisis. \nMary Bennett has been attending UCV since 1989 and was the Executive Director of the Canadian Unitarian Council from 2000-2008. She’s part of the Earth Spirituality Group at UCV and coordinates a Metro Vancouver Zero Waste book group where she first discovered the book All We Can Save. \nRosemary Cornell is a retired Biochemistry professor (SFU). She was drawn to the UCV community in late 2018 after meeting some inspiring Enviro-Team members at climate rallies and other front-line action\, such as resistance against TMX.  She is a member of the Environment\, Zero-waste\, and gardening teams. \nDownload the Order of Service\nWeekly services\n\nJoin us in person in our Sanctuary or live online at https://ucv.im/live for our weekly Sunday Service\, beginning each week at 11am

SUMMARY:Circles of Voices: Benefit Concert featuring Luke Wallace
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a very special evening of songs and stories – a benefit concert for RAVEN (Respecting Aboriginal Values and Environmental Needs). \nLuke Wallace headlines a show that will bring together storytellers\, spoken word and a chorus of voices to sing songs of praise and protest for our world. This event is a fundraiser for RAVEN’s Breathing Lands campaign\, supporting 10 Indigenous Nations who are in court to protect Canada’s boreal peatlands: lands and waters that sequester more carbon than the Amazon rainforest. \nThis benefit concert is supported by UCV’s Social Justice and Environment teams. Tickets: https://fundraise.raventrust.com/breathing \nThe Breathing Lands are a vast peatland in northern Ontario whose wetland ecosystems\, stewarded since time immemorial by Anishinaabe caretakers\, act as the lungs of planet Earth. These rich lands and waters are at risk\, as the Ford government pushes to exploit minerals in what they call ‘The Ring of Fire’.
