Hello Church!
We’re so excited to have established this Eco Advisory Group here at St Michael le Belfrey. We’re a group of enthusiastic individuals, passionate about sustainability, climate justice, and caring for God’s wonderful creation. We know that this journey toward more sustainable practices can be challenging, both in our personal lives and as a Church, but we also know it is joyful and exciting work. And most importantly, it is work that God invites us to do with Him.
We're very glad to be working with you all on this and we are always open to suggestions, so please don’t hesitate to contact us via the contact form below.
