Earth Hour 2024

Posted on by

Saturday 23rd March 2024, 8:30 – 9:30pm

Join us tomorrow evening and turn off all the lights in your home and businesses as part of the Earth Hour project.

Show a symbolic support for the planet and raise awareness of environmental issues affecting us all.

Earth Hour is a global climate change initiative that creates awareness of how energy should be saved to protect our environment.

Iconic buildings like Sydney Harbour Bridge, the CN Tower in Toronto and the Golden Gate Bridge in San Fransisco and the Colosseum in Rome have all stood in darkness for Earth Hour. In that hour do something positive for the planet, sort recycling, walk outside, maybe just sit quietly and listen to the sounds of the night.

Earth Hour is a project that began 2007 and you can read more and offer support here: https://www.earthhour.org/

Remembrance Sunday: An update from Sunday

Posted on by

We were delighted to welcome over 50 people to the service of Remembrance at the weekend. The church was decorated beautifully by our team of flower arrangers and we were thrilled to display a Poppy Collage made by the children from Church Langton School. Rev Martin gave a moving address including mention of the crucifix of nails made after the bombing of Coventry in World War II. Wreaths for the local men who lost their lives in World War I and II were blessed and then taken to the War Memorial on the village green.

We wish to thank everyone who donated on the day and online to our collection for the Royal British Legion. We raised £209.00 which is winging its way to the Harborough branch as we write this. This is our best year yet so we can’t thank you enough for your generous support for this wonderful cause.

Enjoy the photographs of the church taken by Alison Thurlby.

Details of the Remembrance Sunday service for the Langton villages will be announced soon, but as this year’s Poppy Appeal is launched this week, we want help you to support any way you can.

National Launch Thursday 26th October until 11th November. Poppy sales in all outlets from Thursday 26th. You can donate directly to the Royal British Legion here.

Donations in The Langton villages

Members of our community in the Langtons come together like so many across the country, to remember the sacrifice made by our service men and women in the conflicts and wars in the world. At our Remembrance service, all proceeds kindly donated in the service at
St Peter’s support the Royal British Legion’s Poppy Appeal.

This year, for the first time, we can offer secure online donations, so that you can make a contribution even if you can’t attend the service.

Donate

All the money we raise goes to the Harborough branch of the Royal British Legion, so has a local connection for supporters based in this area. You can read more about the Harborough branch on their website here on this link.

However you choose to support, please do – Thank you.
