Environmental awareness and eco-church in our benefice
Are you like me, concerned about climate change and our environment? Are you concerned for the future of our children and grandchildren if climate change continues. St. George’s Church Ruishton and St. Michaels Church Creech St. Michael have registered alongside many other churches and Christian organisations in our diocese and the nation for Eco church which is a tool to help us reduce our carbon footprint and improve our environmental sustainability - both as a church and as individuals within our community. We are planning several days through 2024 when we will particularly focus on this subject, both in our church worship and with events.
In addition, we would like to offer an eco-tip each month in our benefice magazine for you to consider.
Eco-tip for April
As we move into the joys of spring is it time for a spring ‘de-clutter’? We all accumulate possessions throughout our lives - some of our possessions we value, other possessions we no longer need. Let’s share what we can and free up our lives by recycling what we no longer want.
