Eco Church

One way in which we can show God's love in the world is to show care for the world He created.  In Isleham a small group has started to think about Ecological issues.  Are there others who would be interested?

Is God calling you to something?

There are a few things around which it might be good for our churches to be involved with. If anyone would like to take a more active part in prayer, reading the bible, working with young people, thinking about church growth, visiting baptism families, thinking about our faith, and many other things, then please contact David if this is something God might be nudging you towards.
