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/
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.
