Ecotip  September – 'Back to school' A time to reflect on what we have learnt in the past year and how our individual lifestyles have changed towards treading lighter on the world's resources.  A time, too, to consider what our next changes might be as we walk with Jesus in his creation, and how we can take more steps in pursuing net zero goals. – 'Every little helps'!....


9th – 22nd September is Fairtrade Fortnight. Christ Church is a Fairtrade Church. This means that we endeavour to serve only Fairtrade tea and coffee and sugar after services and at church meetings held in the church building or the Centre. Why not make Fairtrade a lifestyle choice? Many of us at Christ Church enjoy Fairtrade tea, coffee, sugar, chocolate at home. Supermarkets locally stock them, though you may need to search. If you have any questions about this, please see Mary Salter or Paul Watson.
