Did you know that ‘Eco-Communities’ is one of our five strategic mission priorities in the Diocese of Leicester? Caring for God’s world is part of our everyday faith as Christians, and it’s something we care deeply about in the diocese.
Many of our churches have already registered with A Rocha as Eco Churches and achieved status from bronze through to gold, but wherever you are on your Eco Church journey, we thought it would be good to come together to share, learn, and inspire our worshipping communities in their eco endeavours.
So, we are holding an Eco Church Conversations Day on Saturday, September 14 from 10am – 2pm, at Holy Trinity Church in Leicester.
It’s open to anyone, of any age, and all denominations are welcome to join in the fun.
This is a great opportunity to be inspired about your church’s Eco Church expedition. Whether you are just starting to think about how to work with the Eco Church award, or wondering how to achieve your next status, you’ll be surrounded by inspiring speakers and be renewed in vision.
On the day, there will be time to think through each of the five areas of the award and talk to key local people who might just have the answers to your questions, including:
- JRI (John Ray Initiative) in Teaching and Worship
- St Martins House in Buildings
- Care for God’s Acre in Land
- Friends of the Earth in Global and Local
- Go Travel Solutions in Lifestyle
Come and network, gather resources and support, and be inspired as to how your community can care for God’s creation. There will be activities for children as well as the grown-ups.
Please do share this invitation around your church, community and networks.
A voluntary donation of £5 per person is suggested (to cover contributors’ expenses).
