The Disciples Center for Public Witness joins with the Disciples Justice Action Network, Kairos Canada, Disciples Home Missions, the United Church of Canada, and many others to celebrate Earth Hour across Canada and the United States. The purpose of EARTH HOUR is to send the message that the faith community is concerned about climate change and committed to finding solutions. On March 28, 2009, at 8:30 PM local time, for 60 minutes, congregations are urged to send a strong symbolic message by turning off steeple lights and other decorative lighting. They are also encouraged to incorporate themes about climate change and care for God's creation into worship services and other events occurring in close proximity to Earth Hour.
Last year, in the largest event ever to call attention to climate change, 50 million people representing 400 cities on all seven continents turned out their lights.
