Today, whatever your job, consider that first calling, to look after the world, its animals and the next generation of humans. How are you fulfilling that calling?
Lord, help us to do small things that produce big change. Where possible, enable us to share resources fairly, campaign for better ecology and animal welfare, nurture young people and leave the world a better place. Amen.
Our vision is for churches of all denominations to care for creation as an integral part of loving their neighbours and following God faithfully.

Churchyard Plant Survey shows increase in biodiversity
Ben Gilchrist has completed his annual survey of the plants in the churchyard. Full results can be found on the Churchyard Plant Survey webpage.
In summary it shows greatly improved biodiversity:
- we have gained around 14 new species of plants
- more butterfly and moth species
- thriving bird communities
We are also now the proud custodians of a thriving population of pyramidal orchids, a sign of good grassland management and great soil, both things which presage the arrival of other species. All great news!! Ben Gilchrist.
St Peter’s has achieved a silver award from Eco Church – click here to see more details.
