All our worship on September 5th and our All Age Eucharist at Rufford on September 12th will be designated Climate Change Sunday Worship.
The Climate Sunday initiative is calling on all local churches across Great Britain & Ireland to hold a climate-focused service on any Sunday before COP26 (November 2021). So far over 1,000 churches have joined including our two churches.
The vision is to leave a lasting legacy of thousands of churches better equipped to address this critical issue as part of their discipleship and mission and to make a significant contribution to civil society efforts to secure adequate national and international action at COP26.
Action as well as talking
At its meeting on September 2nd the Rufford PCC will look at what it can do to become an Eco-church.
Currently new more eco-friendly lighting is being installed at Holy Trinity, Tarleton.
The Rector, Fr Mark Soady said:
” We have made a start towards becoming more eco-friendly, but we still have some way to go. Grounding what we do in biblical truths is very important. Also we need to turn to God in prayer for guidance and wisdom about how we can be better stewards of His creation”.
