Now’s the time to put the MFSA Statewide Gathering on your calendar! This year’s event will not disappoint. The Iowa Faith & Climate Network, under the leadership of Deaconess Irene DeMaris, has been working tirelessly to bring together a day of learning, storytelling, and action on issues that affect us all—clean water, clean air, clean energy, and soil conservation.
This free, community-wide event is open to all and will also be livestreamed. Still, we encourage a strong in-person showing of United Methodists and friends. Please register in advance so we can prepare lunch and materials for all attendees.
Schedule Highlights
9:30 AM – Doors open, coffee & fellowship
Morning Panel – Iowa environmental leaders, moderated by Deaconess Irene DeMaris, discussing the intersection of faith, environmental justice, and local action
Lunch at Noon – Provided for all registrants; Iowa MFSA members will also hold their annual board election
Afternoon Workshop – “What’s Your Climate Story?” with Tim Gossett and faith lobbyist Jeff Anderson, helping you craft your own compelling narrative to share with friends, family, and elected officials
While MFSA has deep United Methodist roots, everyone is welcome to attend and join in this inspiring day of faith, justice, and climate action.
