Eco Church
Spring is sprung.... if you have a garden, could you make it more environmentally friendly? Perhaps leave an area of grass uncut, helping the bugs and biodiversity. Or, put in a rainwater butt. I've just bought glyphosate FREE weedkiller for my driveway and paths.  If you don't have a garden, I buy basil and parsley from the supermarket and keep them on my kitchen windowsill, and they feed us for weeks. Or, you could get an allotment - details and application on the council website.


Prayer Space In the prayer area at the back of church there are cards for you to leave a; Testimony, Things to Pray for, as well as words for us as a Church.  The Staff team will then take time to pray during for them during the week.  Please place completed cards in the offertory box or give to a member of the clergy. For 24/7 urgent (and confidential) prayer requests please send an email to [email protected].
