Eco Church

““The Earth is the Lord’s and everything in it, the world and all who live in it””

— Psalm 24:1

What are we up to?

No Mow May

Our Churchyards joined in with No Mow May where we encouraged the grass and flowers to grow to make sure we are providing homes and food for all the wildlife in our areas.

The churchyards all looked spectacular with the wildflowers and grasses growing and we hope they provided valuable habitats for our insect friends. We are currently surveying our churchyards to see how much wildlife is there and what effect our No Mow May might have had.

If you got involved in No Mow May and want to know what to do about it now, there is some helpful information here.

Creation Care

On Sunday 30th June we heard from Hannah who told us all about our Eco Church awards and what we have been doing to get them. She talked of how it is important to have a heart for all of God’s creation and to do this as individuals as well as a church. Here is her talk:

One of the things she encouraged us to do was to look at Creation Care which is like the Eco Church Award scheme but for individuals. You can fill in the questionnaires about your own environmental credentials! Then you can begin working towards the different levels of awards. We would love to celebrate with you so do let us know if you get an award through this. If you’d like to find out more or complete the questionnaire, go here and you will be able to do so. Please get in touch with us with any questions about this.
