๐ Today is World Environment Day ๐
As God's caretakers of the earth we are called as individuals and together to care for our precious planet ๐
๐ We share this prayer with you written by Rt Revd David Walker Bishop of Manchester:
Heavenly Father,
You have taught us, through your servant St Francis,
That all creation is your handiwork.
Grant us your grace that we may
Exercise wise stewardship of this Earth;
Tread lightly upon it;
And cherish its resources;
That our children may enjoy its riches, throughout all generations,
And your name be glorified through all that you have made.
Amen.
โป๏ธ In our church our 'Green team' volunteers have helped our church grounds and buildings become more energy efficient, better for wildlife and lots more. Alongside holding several services or events on eco-topics. We also follow the A Rocha
Eco-Church award scheme, having received our Silver for Christ Church and Bronze for All Saints.
If you'd like to join our Green team or find out more get in touch or speak to one of the team at our 'Count on Nature' event tomorrow at All Saints Church, Mill Street 2-4pm. We need some new helpers โ
