Eco Church August 2025

ECO CHURCH NEWS
Join us for our CREATIONTIDE SERVICE on 31st August
at 3.30pm in the Garden Room, followed by a bring and
share tea.. Everyone is welcome; bring a friend, the
kids,etc. Lots of singing included and if the weather is
good we can spill out into the garden for tea!
Thank you everyone who recycles their computer ink cartridges.
So far we have raised £10.50 for the Vale Wildlife Hospital. Just a
reminder that the collection point is in the lounge area by the kitchen
door. Used or unused computer ink cartridges are accepted, but NOT
laser jet cartridges thanks. The Vale open day was a huge success. I
will let you know how much was raised then I hear from them.
The good news is that insects are having a better year this year
and butterflies are out and about. The Mission is a Butterfly Wild
Space registered with Butterfly Conservation, so any sightings; let
me know so that I can record it on the database.
At our first Wildlife Biodiversity Group meeting, although not many
present a lot of interesting possibilities were discussed. We have
decided to meet seasonally, to discuss what projects to do during
that particular time of the year. I’m hoping to arrange our first meeting
in September to plan for autumn. Getting a day when everyone can
attend is tricky; so I will have to just pick a day! We need a name for
the group so “Eco-Church Wildlife Group” seems the most
appropriate. More details in the September News sheet.
