Earth Hour is a worldwide movement to encourage positive environmental impact. We can show support for our planet by turning off all non-essential lights and unnecessary electrical devices for 1 hour from 8.30pm – 9.30pm on Saturday 26th March. You can find out more at www.earthhour.orgJust before 8.30pm There will be an introduction on Facebook if you are able to join us. 8.30pm All non-essential lights and electrical devices switched off (if you haven’t already). Feel free to pray as you wish. Take part in some/all of the prayer station activities linked to creation and the environment that can be completed at home with things you will probably have in your house already. Or silent prayer, perhaps focussing on Genesis 1:1-31 or the readings for Compline. See resources list and instructions below. 9.30pm Turn on your lights and electrical devices if you wish, or continue without them for as long as you like.

This year, for Lent we are trying Carbon Fast. It contains lots of different ways we can reduce our carbon footprint and some prayer focusses too. You do not need to do them all, but have a think about which ones you can do to help care for God's creation. Download the Carbon Fast 2022 document to join us in Carbon Fast throughout Lent.
