*Special Winter Program*
LONGEST NIGHT: Exploring the Winter Solstice
Date: Sunday, December 21, 2025
Time: 7:30 pm EST/ 4:30 pm PST
Presenters: Barbara Hassall and Lucy Youngblood
The winter solstice is opportunity for attentiveness that honors grief, welcomes lament, and meets the needs of those who are blue at Christmas. Join us as we create sacred space for people living through dark times while holding space for healing and hope. The program will take us from the science of the Solstice to the pagan worship which surrounds the events leading to seeing that the darkness of the day still allows for the coming light of Christ. The mood will be somber but enlightening. Please join us online as we take an earth care perspective and examine the longest night of the year. We encourage you to bring a candle or light of some kind with you to the program.

NOVEMBER WEBINAR
Coming Home to Your Ecological Self
Webinar Date: Monday, November 3, 2025
Time: 7:30 pm EDT/ 4:30 pm PDT
Presenter: Shannan Vance-Ocampo
In this webinar we will talk about some of the original instructions about our ecological selves found in Scripture, and our foundational life experiences that help us connect with the God of Creation. We will explore places of disconnection and some pathways of reconnection.
“Our mission is to gather a grassroots fellowship of Presbyterians to seek support and implementation of Restoring Creation through all agencies of ministry within the church; to foster networks of Presbyterians from all walks of life to learn from Holy Scripture and life experiences in order to share gifts and skills for restoring and preserving creation for future generations; to cooperate with others who are actively involved in living lightly on the earth through ecumenical, national and community organizations, and in all, to be faithful to the call of our Redeemer, Jesus Christ.”
WHAT WE DO
I Corinthians 4:1 Thus should one regard us: as servants of Christ and stewards of the mysteries of God.
Presbyterians for Earth Care (PEC) invites individuals and congregations to participate in the growing earth care movement within the PC(USA). PEC is a national eco-justice network that cares for God’s creation by connecting, equipping, and inspiring Presbyterians to make creation care a central concern of the church.
Presbyterians for Earth Care cares for God’s Creation by:
Connecting members through a grassroots network of people seeking to keep the sacred at the center of earth care, advocacy and action both inside and outside the walls of the church.
Equipping members with resources, ideas and information for a shared journey toward a healthier planet by growing and sharing theological understandings and perspectives on eco-justice issues.
Inspiring members through stories of individuals and groups who have responded to the sacred call to care for the earth – stories told person to person at events, and by newsletter, email, social media and devotions.
Presbyterians for Earth Care was formerly called Presbyterians for Restoring Creation.
