The last couple of Forest Church sessions have been especially creative. In September there was corn dolly making - and these were then used in the decorations for the harvest service at church.
Then last month was even more adventurous - everyone made bird boxes.
There seem to have been a lot of meetings going on, including our first attendance at ARocha's Gold Award holders online forum, and a very useful Diocesan event ‘supporting churches to net zero carbon’. Our own heating plans are once again being completely rethought since my last post so I'll wait until things are actually happening before reporting on that again!
Another occasion for hearing inspirational stories from other churches was the Church Times Green Awards ceremony at St John's Waterloo. Rosemary and I had been shortlisted in their Green Champions category - the winner was Jean Carletta who set up the HeatHack programme - see video here.
And there has been excellent news about the Climate and Nature Bill - Roz Savage MP, who came third in the Private Members Bill ballot - has selected this as her bill and it will receive its second reading in January. So now we all need to encourage our MPs to be there to support it.
