Celebrating your Eco Church journey
Our anniversary services are spread across England and Wales, but we know that not everyone will be able to attend. Every Eco Church is part of this milestone, and we want to celebrate the commitment shown by thousands of churches, including yours, over the past decade.
Why not mark the occasion in your own church? We’ve created a new resource, Celebrating your Eco Church journey, with ideas and inspiration for recognising milestones – whether that’s ten years of Eco Church or achieving a bronze, silver or gold award, for example.
You could host a special service, an outdoor worship gathering, a Fairtrade coffee morning, a nature walk or an art exhibition, or plant a tree or hedge! Read the resource for inspiration and let us know if you plan to do something.
