Sample Kairos Moment for March

In January 2020, the UCC’s Council for Climate Justice issued a Kairos Call to Action which called upon churches to undertake an all-out mobilization to address the twin crises climate and inequality. As part of this effort, churches can incorporate into worship on a regular basis a Kairos Moment, a moment for sharing an action that can be taken. A collection of sample moments are available here. Check out the latest Kairos Moment by the Rev. Jeffrey Spencer:

In the seven years since Paris climate accords, the four biggest U.S. banks (Chase, Citi, Wells Fargo, and Bank of America) have lent well over a trillion dollars to companies that make the climate crisis worse by expanding fossil fuel projects and cutting down rainforests.

A national organization called Third Act is supporting small groups all over the county to take action locally. For me, it’s a pledge to cut up my Chase Credit Card and move my business to greener pastures. I plan to join a local action event outside of Wells Fargo Bank on March 21 – the first day of spring.

Learn more about Third Act’s campaign. “Banking on the Future,” and the Day of Action coming up on March 21st. Be sure to join us after worship on March 5. We’ll be providing some “Green” Snacks to nourish our efforts.
