A new free online resource will be launched in May 2008, produced by Methodist Children and MAYC through JMA and World Action for the whole Church to engage with the Issue of Climate Change
Methodist Young People have challenged every Methodist church to take the issue of Climate Change seriously. Stem The Tide will resource and help each Church to get involved in taking a Month of Action on Climate Change The resource has been shaped by the responses of a survey sent out to children and young people in the Methodist Church. This resource will enable all ages in every church to engage in a really effective month of action in turn kick starting a longer term change.
The resource is flexible and Churches can choose when they want to take their month of action. There is plenty of material to use with children’s groups, youth groups; all age worship, Bible study, sermons and more. There will be plenty of facts, ideas, activities and evaluation tools that will help both study and action - both as an individual and as a corporate group. There will also be a focus on the impact of climate change on the Pacific Islands, and those who live there.
The web address will be www.stemthetide.org.uk. A poster will be sent to each church, with room for you to fill in which month your church has chosen for its month of action, along with postcards and information pocket cards to raise awareness.
