An invitation to a Green Day Out

The South Lanarkshire Network of Eco-Congregation Scotland is hosting a “Green Day Out” at the David Livingstone Centre in Blantyre on Saturday 4th June and you and your whole church family are invited!

The event will run from 11am – 4pm. Come for an hour or two or for the whole day. You can bring a picnic to enjoy in the beautiful grounds or have your lunch in the centre café.

There will be a lot going on all day:
  • Children’s activities
  • Guided walks for all ages
  • Displays and stalls helping you to care better for creation at home and in your daily lives: find out how you can:
  • - respond to climate change and saving your 5% (CO2) at church and at home
  • - get young people involved and what our children want us to do to protect their future
  • - help look after local wildlife
  • How to become an eco-congregation
The South Lanarkshire network of Eco-Congregation have organised the Eco Fair and you will find an exciting range of stalls to answer your questions and provide expert advice. Everyone is welcome and entry to the event and all the activities above is free!

Many Christians are concerned about the environment but don't know what they can do. Eco-Congregation Scotland is an ecumenical charity which offers a programme to help congregations and parishes understand environmental issues and make appropriate practical and spiritual responses. There are now over 270 churches across the country helping the church put into practice what it preaches by tackling these key issues of our times. (see www.ecocongregationscotland.org)
