Eco Church
On the 10
th of January, Midsomer Norton Methodist Church achieved a Bronze Eco-Church award from A Rocha UK, a charity which equips churches in England and Wales to care for creation.
This award celebrates the work already happening to better care for God’s earth and is measured across five areas—Worship and Teaching, Building Management, Land Management, Community Engagement and Lifestyle. It's not only about what we do on a Sunday or what happens on our premises but how the congregation embraces the cause across their whole lives.
Bronze level is just the start. With the Methodist Church nationally aiming to be Net Zero by 2030 there is a lot of work to be done. The Eco Group is already looking forward to achieving a silver award and what can be done next. You can keep an eye on the notice boards, website and social media for news from the Eco Group and tips to help you care for creation. This is a task for all of us.
Thank you to our Eco team and all who have and continue to do their bit. We're already looking forward to doing even more to care for the planet and aiming for a silver award.

We encourage all members of our church community to walk, bus, cycle or car-share to church events. Let us all do our part to care for God's earth.
