We are delighted to announce that St. Peter’s has been awarded the Silver Eco Church Award!

We would like to say a huge thank you to everyone who has helped us get this Award, particularly to anyone who has helped on any of the Operation Churchyard days. Hopefully it will not be too long before we are able to apply for the Gold award.  

To gain the award we had to demonstrate care for God’s earth in each of the following areas:

❖ Worship and Teaching

❖ Management of Buildings and Land

❖ Community and Global Engagement 

❖ Lifestyle

Want to help? 

❖ (Usually) On the first Saturday of the month (March-October) we have a ‘Operation Churchyard Day’ when people volunteer an hour or two of their time to carry out gardening tasks. 

❖ We would be grateful if people refrain from using weed killer around graves. 

In the meantime, if you have an interest in ecology, gardening or the great outdoors and would like to help develop the Churchyard. Please contact Will Swinnerton at [email protected]

You are welcome to picnic in the Church grounds. Please recycle your waste in the bins provided by the tower. This is a space for conversation, exploration and quiet reflection.
