Water Is Sacred: New Resources and Opportunities from Blessed Tomorrow
Water connects us—to one another, to creation, and to God’s ongoing work in the world. The July 2026 newsletter from Blessed Tomorrow invites people of faith to deepen their understanding of water as a sacred gift while exploring practical ways to care for creation through education, advocacy, and faithful action. Read the full July Blessed Tomorrow newsletter to explore these resources, upcoming events, and opportunities for engagement.
This month’s newsletter highlights Holy Water: Protecting What Connects and Sustains Us, a film series featuring faith leaders from multiple traditions who explore the spiritual importance of protecting waterways and watersheds. Congregations and individuals are encouraged to access the film series and discussion guide as a resource for learning and conversation.
Clergy may also be interested in an upcoming Ecumenical Clergy Retreat, scheduled for September 1–4, 2026, in Western North Carolina, featuring keynote speaker Rev. Julian DeShazier. The gathering offers opportunities for renewal, connection, and reflection among faith leaders from various traditions.
The newsletter also celebrates local climate ministry efforts, including a feature on Blessed Tomorrow Climate Ambassador Dianne Benjamin and her congregation’s work in Kentucky. Additional resources include materials from One Home One Future focused on watershed stewardship, climate engagement opportunities from partner organizations, and a new blog exploring climate responsibility through an Islamic faith perspective.
For Lutherans seeking ways to integrate creation care into congregational life, the newsletter highlights resources from Lutherans Restoring Creation, including practical guidance for developing local ministries centered on stewardship of God’s creation.
As Lutherans, we affirm that creation is God’s gift and that caring for it is an expression of love for our neighbors and future generations. Water is central to our faith—from baptismal waters to the rivers and streams that sustain life—and this month’s Blessed Tomorrow newsletter offers meaningful ways to connect faith with action.
