Subject: Putley Church - Congratulations on your Bronze Eco Church Award

Dear Sue,

Thank you for your application for a Bronze Eco Church Award.

I have checked your survey scores and am delighted to confirm your award. Well done to everyone involved in reaching this milestone! Please do share this email with your wider Eco Church team, as well as your church leaders and community, as appropriate. Attached is a certificate for you to print out and display in your church or to share during your next church service and via your church's social media.

Our overall aim of the Eco Church award scheme is to celebrate the ways that church communities have been engaging with caring for the earth as a key part of our Christian faith. As a bronze-awarded Eco Church, we encourage you to celebrate your award achievement and to share about your Eco Church journey on your website or social media pages. To do this, you may like to add the attached website badge; you'll just need to add a hyperlink to the Eco Church website here: ecochurch.arocha.org.uk/.

Thank you for taking the time to provide us with some further comments to support your application. This was so helpful for understanding your church context, and so encouraging for us to hear more details of your eco church journey and hear about all the activities you have participated in. It is encouraging to hear of all you have done as a small church, and to read about your outreach work in partnership with community groups, your work in the churchyard, and your fresh expressions of church services, amongst everything else. I hope writing everything out was a helpful exercise to reflect on your Eco Church journey so far.
