Call for Sermons The United Church of Christ Eco-Justice ministry has a website devoted to the call for more than a thousand sermons in solidarity
with 21 youth who have taken the U.S. federal government to court over climate
change. Clergy and youth are encouraged to make a pledge to preach a sermon in
the coming months. Find out more and pledge to join at www.eachgeneration.org/  A Song of Inspiration If you're looking for some of the feeling of this website and what we mean by praising the triune God with creation, the song "Holy Now" by Minnesota singer-songwriter Peter Mayer may give you a feeling for it.
