Students\, pastors\, laypersons and seekers from all denominations and walks of life are welcome to join the program to be enriched and inspired by LIFE.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRev.

Yet\, we can no longer wait for others to be the prophets that were needed yesterday. We must find the prophet in each of us. We are the ones who can make a profound difference right now. To answer the urgent call for prophetic action today\, this event will focus on what the Hebrew Prophets teach us and what is already being done to act. \nThis year’s event will open with a national webinar Saturday morning\, April 23rd\, featuring Rev. Dr. Brooks Berndt\, Minister of Environmental Justice for the United Church of Christ; Nellis Kennedy-Howard from Honor the Earth\, Rev. Michael Malcolm from People’s Justice Council; and Hector Arbuckle\, Ames Climate Action Team. The Saturday afternoon session will focus on what actions individuals and faith communities in Ames and the Tri-Conference area can take to address specific aspects of the Climate Crisis. On Sunday morning April 24th before worship Rev. Brooks will focus on what faith communities can do to care for God’s creation as well as engaging audience questions. During worship he will then provide the sermon “Barefoot Blessings” at Ames UCC church. Program details are provided below. Registration is required for both the national webinar event and the Ames UCC/Tri-Conference sessions. Both the national and Ames UCC/Tri-Conference sessions are free and open to the public. \n\n\n\nRegistration is required to attend these events\, but there is no charge for registration. Because a portion of the sessions will be part of a national United Church of Christ webinar\, registration for that portion Saturday morning\, April 23rd\, will be necessary at the National UCC website. \nRegistration for the Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning events will be through the Ames UCC church. All sessions will be available via Zoom. To register for the Saturday after- noon and Sunday morning sessions\, go to the Amesucc.org website and click on the TIR event tab at the top of the home page. Scroll down to the registration instructions. \n\n\n\nOur program is free and open to the public. However\, donations are gratefully accepted to help support our programs.
