Eco church

For those who attended Sir Ghillean’s talk, you heard the mention of Emmanuel being part of the A Rocha Eco Church movement and how God has instructed us to be responsible stewards of our planet. I am pleased to share that behind the scenes, a lot has been accomplished. We have registered as an Eco Church, undertaken a survey, and are making good progress. However, we now

need your help as we plan to apply for the Bronze Award and move on to the Silver Award.

Two of the five models of Eco Church focus on engaging you, the congregation, and our community. This involves not only raising awareness of the climate crisis but also highlighting what we as a church and you as individuals can do to help. Some of these tasks are very simple, while others require more thought and effort. The other models are Worship and Teaching, Buildings and Energy and Land and Nature

The support from Eco Church is fantastic, offering many helpful tips on what to do. All we need now is your help to implement these tips and complete the necessary tasks. I am looking to lead the Emmanuel Eco Church group to explain where we are, what resources are available, and what tasks you can do to help. Remember, many hands make light work. All are welcome and all will be explained.
