Biodiversity Survey, 4^th June.

As part of our Eco-Church activities, we would love to welcome everybody to come and take part in the Biodiversity Survey of St Mark’s Cemetery in Peaslake. This will take place from 2-4pm on Sunday 4^th June. If you are able to come, please could you send Jenny an email on ecopeaslake@gmail.com


Ideally, please bring a smart phone with an identification app: Seek is free and very good, or iNaturalist which has a free 3 day trial period which you could activate for the weekend then cancel. Plus bring any other resources which you own (hand lens, books etc).
If it is raining, the event will be postponed.






        As we unite in anguish for the plight of the people of Ukraine  many people are asking, ‘what can we do?’

At this stage – and mindful that there is a long road ahead – we would highlight two dimensions for response:

1. Spiritually: let’s continue to pray for peace. For no less than a change of heart from Putin; and for God’s mercy amid the turmoil, especially for all those in dire straits. There is a prayer station in the St Nicholas' chapel at St James' and online resources are available on the diocesan website here

2. Financially: we can keep giving financial aid through the charities and funds which are working on the ground. We encourage in particular a church-to-church channel, so that we empower our brothers and sisters in Ukraine and bordering countries – such as through the Ukraine Emergency Appeal which is a joint venture between the Diocese in Europe and USPG.
