#No Plastics for Lent Initiative

The #NoPlasticsforLent initiative, led by young adults across the church, calls us to prayer for creation, to lament the ways we have been complicit in the degradation of the earth, and to action to care for our neighbor in fasting from the things that are hurting our planet.

You are invited as an individual, a family unit or community

to fast for 40 days from single-use plastics.

We want this initiative to be accessible to all, and if this is not possible for you in your context or community, we invite you to sustainability practices that make sense for you.

Over the course of Lent, ELCA Young Adult Ministry will publish live videos, devotionals, resources, and host discussion groups led by young adults who are passionate about their spirituality and about care for creation. This year, our content will focus on how climate change intersects with other areas of social justice.
