The earth is the Lord's and everything in it. 1 Corthinians 10v26/ Psalm 24.
At St Andrew’s, we have a team called the Creation Care Team (CCT) who are encouraging the church towards maintaining our Ecochurch Silver Status and also encouraging individuals to live more sustainable lives, so that we are a blessing not a burden to God’s Creation.
Climate Change poses a threat to our planet which will have profound consequences to nature and those who are the poorest in our world. There are so many resources out there to help us understand this further and encourage us to do things differently.
