Climate Justice & Creation Care

We seek to be good stewards of the many resources God has given us, and to make efforts toward climate and environmental justice accessible for everyone in our community.

Electric Vehicle Charger

In 2021, we installed an electric vehicle (EV) charger in our parking lot — the first (and so far only) publicly available EV charger on the South Side of Chicago. Learn more.

COP26 Participation

Also in 2021, SPR member Julia Rademacher-Wedd represented the Episcopal Church at COP26, the United Nations annual conference on climate change. Learn more.

Energy Efficiency with United Thank Offering

In 2022, we received a grant from United Thank Offering to upgrade our lighting system to use LED bulbs and facilitate education of our neighborhood about local incentives for energy efficiency. Learn more.
