Friends, we have a unique opportunity as we head into the August recess period for Congress, to really 
get ready to encourage members of the Senate to pass climate legislation. See the message below from Tyler Edgar, the Associate Director of Climate and Energy for the NCC Eco-Justice Program about a national call in. You can be in touch with me if you plan to call in. Thanks!
Hi all –
As many of you know the House of Representatives recently passed comprehensive climate and energy legislation.
This is the first of 4 key steps to addressing climate change here in the US, responding to the urgent need to prevent the worst impacts of climate change.
The next step in the process is to get the Senate to pass a bill as well.
We know there are thousands of folks out there working to address this issue in their congregations and communities and would like to invite you to join us for an update on the bill the House passed and prepare for the bill that is being developed in the Senate.
We will host this call on July 30th from 12-1pm EST.
Below is the call in information.
Denominational staff from various NCC member communions will join this conversation to answer questions and outline their specific priorities!
Please let me know if you plan to join so I can ensure that we have enough lines for everyone to use!
Look forward to having you join us.
Peace,
Tyler

Um, you all know that the planet is now cooling, right? There is no such thing as man caused climate change. The planet is alive and changes. It’s nothing that YOU can change. The church should be good stewards of what we have been given by keeping it clean but your not going to change the climate.
