First Unitarian Church of Des Moines

Earth Day

Rev. Jennifer Brooks and Tracy Beck (DRE) April 22

9:15 & 11 am
Celebrant: Susan Gross

As we celebrate Earth Day, new leaders are emerging to call us to care for the Earth. In Juliana v. US, 20 impassioned youth ranging in age from eight to 19 have asked a federal court to require the United States to intervene effectively to protect the Earth against climate change. All of them, even the youngest, have both a deep appreciation of the natural world and a track record of environmental activism. In this service for all ages, we share some of their inspirational stories and their legal “Prayer for Relief.” First Unitarian children and youth share the experiences that led these young people to bring a lawsuit.
