Going for Gold became suddenly a reality! Easter 2024 saw completion of a major building project, which vastly improved the insulation, energy efficiency, water and waste management in the church, as well as our facilities for access and community use.

Achieving Gold could only be done if everyone played their part, and it became a whole church environmental project of the first order!

The biggest challenge now may be to maintain our personal attention to all forms of sustainability. Being Eco conscious in no way clashes with other church activities and messages we seek to share about the love of God for all people. Now it underpins it.

Every choice we make, from what we eat, our every purchase, donation or saving; the prayers we say and activity we commit to can be part of our collective responsibility to care for God’s creation. In maintaining that awareness, we are both stewarding creation as God asks us people to do in Genesis, and loving our neighbours as ourselves, as Jesus asks us to do.
