Creation Care
Creation Care in our discipleship
What is happening at church?
We would like:
-
our grounds and churchyards to be wildlife and people friendly
-
our church buildings to be more energy-efficient
-
our plastic and food waste kept to a minimum, reusing or recycling where we can
-
to be transport aware, walking or cycling or sharing lifts to church where we can
-
to show care for our community and environment, such as in the StAction clean-up days
-
to consider the environment in our church policies and practices, for present and future generations
-
to learn how our own lifestyles affect the earth and other people
For further information see our Caring for Creation blogs
