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/

How wonderful that Spring is here but what does it mean to you?

Posted on by

Spring is a beautiful time of year and I must say my favourite. It is uplifting to leave the dark nights and mornings behind us as the evenings begin to draw out and bulbs begin to poke their heads through. Birds begin to build nests in the hope of raising a family. Mother Nature awakens.

Spring is often associated with hope and rebirth – indeed Easter celebrates the resurrection of our Lord, Jesus Christ and it takes place in Spring.

‘For behold, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone. The flowers appear on the earth, the time of singing has come, and the voice of the turtledove is heard in our land’.

Song of Solomon 2:11-12

What does Spring mean to you?

Here in St Peter’s church yard we find the earliest flowers. These flowers provide vital nectar for wakening bees and insects.

Here are some photos taken in the churchyard by James Cullen.

Background information

From the Leicester Diocese website:

Parish Admin

Every parish has a Parochial Church Council (PCC). This is a group of people who represent the church in that place, and are its main decision makers. The powers and duties of a PCC are defined by legislation, because it has charitable status. PCC members are charity trustees.

The PCC includes some people who are members because of the office they hold (the term used is ex-officio) such as licensed clergy and church wardens, and some who are elected.
