Congregational Awards
We need your help! Earth Ministry/WAIPL wants to celebrate the congregations’ hard work at our Autumn fundraiser, Return and Restore: An Autumn Gathering on Sunday, October 8, 2023. While this event is packed with activities and is an excellent time to connect with one another, we will also be holding an awards ceremony!
We are delighted to offer a few award categories to acknowledge and celebrate the hard work and dedication congregations give towards faithful environmental justice, and we want to hear from you. Whether it is a nomination for your home congregation or a congregation, we want to know the excellent work being done! There are so many deserving communities, and though we can’t honor all of them with an award this year, we welcome your nominations to give some well-deserved congratulations and gratitude for amazing work!
