In March 2015, Nelson Stover was invited to give a sermon on Climate Change to the Unitarian Universalist Church of Greensboro. The sermon was entitled: Climate Change: Clarion Call for Congregations. A special children's story called Larry and Ursula's Big Decision was written especially for the service.
One of the stepping stones on Nelson's journey of understanding was expressed in a 2009 sermon entitled "A Line in the Sand".
