Action for Hope

Important information about the upcoming Annual Returns

Each year, on your behalf, a member of the Property Committee completes a series of questions that cover many aspects of church life. Many churches have not got the volunteers to do this and it is a certainty that only lip service is paid to it. Happily, the Methodist Church has recognised the limited value of these returns and are replacing them with a new theme as below.

The upcoming Annual Returns for year ending August 2023 will be significantly revamped. The new returns will focus on Action for Hope

Here are the "Six Steps to Net Zero" in one document:

The first meeting of those wishing to advance the eco-church message happened on 16 January 2023. All those that attended agreed to take the eco message back to their respective areas of interest. The overall aim is to use the A Rocha framework to better the church's position and incidentally gain the Gold Awards in all categories.

If you think we are ready for a medal - look in the rubbish bins and see how mixed up our waste is!! Do we all use recycled paper? We have a way to go in attitudes and procedures. More to follow.
