As part of the liturgy for the Easter Vigil, and at every Baptism, we are called to renew our baptismal covenant including the question:

"Will you strive to safeguard the integrity of God's creation, and respect, sustain and renew the life of the Earth?"  Our response is "I will, with God's help."

CJC 's Action of the Month helps us live out this promise by encouraging us to pray, become informed, speak out about climate breakdown, and reduce our carbon footprint.  We can reduce food waste, drive less, buy less, save energy at home, plant trees and native species, and support environmental groups.  

That’s our role and responsibility as stewards of creation.  Let’s tell our friends and colleagues!

Cuba's electrical grid collapses amid U.S. oil blockade.

*Headline from The Guardian March 16th, 2026

Humanitarian demands have  increased in Cuba due to Hurricane Melissa and the cessation of oil being shipped via Venezuela.  Millions in Cuba are vulnerable.  They have critical shortages of fuel, medicine, food, and water. 

Alongside Hope is continuing its longtime support of the Episcopal church in Cuba. This year’s focus has been on solar generators to insure clean water independent of the grid.  Please remember Cuba in your prayers.  Every day is a new crisis but Alongside Hope is partnering here at home and overseas to be a trusted ally.
