ECO CHURCH NEWS
I have just been e-mailed to say that the new updated
Eco-Church survey will be sent out on 8th October.
So will let you know what’s happening in the November New Sheet.
In the meantime, I’m hoping to have an autumn tidy up in the Mission’s
garden. The last year’s weather has not been kind, and we have not
had the opportunity to sit out on the grass at all.
Nature is having to adapt to climate chaos, but is not so able as us
humans, as it takes time for species to adapt. As you tidy up your
gardens, leave small piles of leaves and twigs for creepy crawlies
to overwinter. Stones and shady areas help slow worms and other
amphibians too. Hedgehogs love piles of leaves and twigs to make
dens to hibernate in. As I was eating my breakfast recently I watched
a flock of House Martins and Swallows swooping and swirling over
the gardens getting ready to fly to Africa. Yes autumn is here!
