Justice, Peace & Integrity of Creation
We aim to make a difference in our locality, country and the world through dialogue and action, either on our own or in cooperation with others, which will help transform the lives of our fellow sisters and brothers and reduce the stress on our fragile environment.
Meetings are held on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 7.30pm in the Parish Centre and are open to all.

Season of Creation
The Season of Creation is the 5-week global ecumenical celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home, starting each year on 1 September and finishing on the feast of St Francis, 4 October. This year the Justice, Peace and Integrity of Creation group are marking the Season of Creation whose theme is Living Water by making available two prayer and reflection sheets for individual or group use.
The first of two prayer and reflection sheets will available on Sunday 1 September at the start of the Season of Creation. The second prayer sheet will follow at the end of September.
In addition, there is a leaflet containing practical ideas that you can commit to undertake during September. Please look at the ideas, or decide upon your own, and return your commitment to the labelled box in the church porch. A summary of parish commitments made will be published on the digital noticeboards. Then, let us know what you achieved by 4 October by returning the second half of the leaflet in the same way. The results will be announced later that month.
