Eco-Explorers Group

The Eco-explorers group was established in 2008 by members of the congregation concerned about the consequences of our modern life style on the future of our planet.
The group focuses in three main areas: personal audit, church audit and contemplative prayer.  Talks, films, magazine articles and other activities are organised to raise awareness on environmental issues and encourage the church congregation and local community to be actively engaged.
The group meets at 8pm on the second Monday of the month at Anne Yarwood’s house.
