In January 2025 All Saints Awbridge Church was delighted to receive an A Rocha Eco-church Silver Award in recognition of the steps we have taken to encourage us all to join in caring for our planet.

Eco-tip for April: Why not celebrate new life this Easter and have a go at growing something! 

April is the perfect time to try to grow something edible or, if you are a seasoned gardener, to encourage someone else to try. Salad leaves or herbs are a great place to start and will reduce your reliance on those oh-so-convenient supermarket salad bags. For indoor space, try ‘micro-greens’ (vegetable leaves harvested soon after they open) For greenhouses, try sowing salad leaf seed mixes. For outdoors, beetroot, lettuce, onion and pea plants are frost-resistant so can all be planted outside in April. As you sow, thank God for the opportunity to grow food, and pray for those communities that are facing food shortages and famine.
