Gold Eco Award: St. Mary Magdalene Church, Hart
ECO NEWS
Thank you to all families who attended our crib service this year. You all looked magnificent at the stable in Bethlehem. Also a big thank you to you all for helping to raise a wonderful sum of £250 for Christingle. We also sent money to the Salvation Army for the Homeless Appeal.
20 coconut trees were purchased for people suffering from leprosy. The milk from the coconuts provides essential vitamins and shade protests the damaged limbs.
At the November 3 @ 4 service, we explored our wonderful new hedgehog box. Unfortunately, our hedgehogs are now on the endangered species list, so we have decided to do our best to save them.
The children had a great time exploring the box. It really is a super home.
Lets hope for success.

The Theme of this month 3@4 was Creation
Our story was about Johnny Appleseed. Johnny travelled around the mid west of America. He bought land and turned it into Apple Orchards. He always carried his bible with him and delighted in telling stories on his travels.
Our families all took home a plant pot compost and an apple to start their own orchard!!
At the activity table, we traced the journey of a sheep’s wool to a sweater. Thanking God for the shepherds, the sheep shearers, and all the people, further down the lines producing the knitted garments.
We also welcomed five families preparing for baptism. We were delighted to meet Ottillie, Lillie, Bobby, Sophia, Shelly, Bentley and Callie-Mae.
