Responding to God’s calling for the earth
We believe that we all need to make a greater effort to look after the world God has given us, so each church in SWCUA will be working towards becoming an Eco Church, following the A Rocha award scheme. Click here for details:
The vision is for churches to care for creation as an integral part of loving their neighbours and following God faithfully.
The first step is to take the Eco Survey to gauge where the church currently stands in relation to the three different levels: Bronze, Silver or Gold.
There are supporting resources to help equip the church to express its care for God’s world in:
– worship and teaching
– looking after buildings and land
– engaging with the local community and in global campaigns
– the personal lifestyles of the congregation
Vickerstown Methodist Church has already achieved the Bronze Eco Church Award – congratulations to them! Hopefully, other churches will follow soon. You can have a look at their story below:
