Last year St. Margaret’s Hall hosted a presentation by the company seeking to develop the quarry. This month’s coffee morning at St. Margaret’s Hall had a special focus on the environment and community action. We were joined by members of the Stop Methley Quarry group, who spoke about their campaign to protect our village from the environmental and social impact of the proposed quarry development.

The session linked closely with the aims of our Eco Church Group, which encourages all of us to live more sustainably and care for God’s creation in practical ways. From reducing waste and planting for biodiversity to supporting local campaigns that protect the environment, we are reminded that stewardship of the earth is part of our Christian calling.

As always, there was plenty of friendly conversation, tea, coffee and homemade cake — and even a few four-legged visitors enjoyed the morning! A big thank you to everyone who helped with the refreshments and made the event so welcoming.
