In the US, CWS member churches are also educating their congregations about water. They are responding to disaster-related water needs, and funding projects in marginalized communities where water is scarce. Member churches are seeking ways to address the environmental and economic context of the water crisis and threats to the integrity of creation. A Lenten guide made available by one mainline Protestant denomination this year draws on Biblical references to water.
