Lent course

Climate change and the purposes of God: A study course based on the Ash Wednesday Declaration

Operation Noah has published a course which is designed for use as a Lent course – though it is also appropriate for use at any time of the year. It is targeted for use with Church and house groups and the content is based on the Ash Wednesday Declaration.

There are five sessions, each with handouts for participants and notes for group leaders. The sessions are as follows:

1. Does climate change matter? If so, why does it matter?

2. How can I better celebrate creation as God’s gift?    

3. What is God asking of me?

4. What do I need to change?

5. What can I do now to cherish God’s earth?
