Wed, April 23, 12:00 pm, Via Zoom, Amidst all the change happening in our nation, we are also seeing less care being taken when it comes to our world. Policy changes and priority shifts are threatening an Earth already facing a climate crisis. What can we hope for as the world seems to move closer and closer to a point of no return? What can we do to further environmental justice in the face of so many unjust forces? We will hear about how the landscape of ecojustice will change and how to fight for the future of the planet.

June 11-12, at St. Andrew's Episcopal Church, Denver
Bishop Kym Lucas invites leaders engaged in Becoming Beloved Community ministries to gather at St. Andrew’s in Denver, with the Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers facilitating.
Becoming Beloved Community in the Episcopal Church is a long-term commitment to racial reconciliation, healing, and justice. It calls Episcopalians to live into their Baptismal Covenant by working toward a society where all people experience dignity and equity as God's beloved children.
This gathering welcomes leaders in race justice initiatives, Indigenous allies, Latino ministry leaders, Asian and Pacific Islander community leaders, and those working in migrant and refugee ministries—as well as others engaged in this transformative work. The Summit is also open to emerging leaders who have a passion for these ministries and a desire to help the Church more fully embody Becoming Beloved Community. Join us for learning, networking, and inspiration.
Pick out the perfect pumpkin at the satellite Habitat for Humanity pumpkin patch. Enjoy time in a bounce house and other family friendly games. Take in music performed by local talents in the festival area and spiritual enhancing instrumentals covering the labyrinth area.
All are welcome to come and find just the right gift or something you didn’t know that you needed. Many of the booths are filled with unique items created by local hand-crafters. Relish a morning or afternoon of seeing the creativity that is all around us.
