The overall aim of the Eco Church award scheme is to celebrate the ways that church communities have been engaging with caring for the earth as a key part of our Christian faith.<br>Thank you to all who have supported us in Prayer and in Actions. From small ways such as recycling at church events and at home, to walking, car sharing, switching lights off and supporting Fair Trade Products. Thank you to all who have helped the care of our grounds with plants for bio diversity, and the families with bug hunts, Early birds with vegetables and uniformed organizations with their badge work , the Eco group at St Mary’s school for all their ideas for our next steps and much more happening in the back ground life of our church activities and buildings.Now we continue to develop the next steps in this important support in God’s precious world.
