Early June saw our Annual Pets Service led by John Cowan , with 6 dogs and 12 snails accompanying their carers. An enjoyable Service, slightly damp,  celebrating Care for Creation, with songs , reflections, and sharing information about pets past and present.

Following the Service, we carried out our Churches Count on Nature survey in the Community Peace Garden, identifying and recording  the wildlife , plants, and bushes.

We were helped by the earlier survey carried out by Four Dwellings Primary Academy Nursery, and suggestions from Boys’ Brigade about wildlife that they had identified in our grounds.

As part of our Eco Church initiatives working with the community, we were pleased to host a visit from Four Dwellings Primary Academy Nursery during April.

We welcomed  22 children and 6 teachers and helpers , and the children learnt about our Church and Eco Church, and carried out a nature survey in the Community Peace Garden. Their findings were shared and displayed on our Eco Church boards, alongside eco tips and sustainability projects from local schools. Their nature survey contributes to our annual Churches Count on Nature..

While here the children joined our weekly  Place of Welcome offering around cornflake cakes that they had made while talking to those having coffee.
