Eco Congregation

The parish churches in Buchlyvie and Gartmore have registered as Eco-Congregations, recognising that, for Christians, caring for the Earth is a proper response to a loving creating God. Eco-Congregation Scotland provides a variety of helpful resources and ideas. Just before Lockdown we had put out a survey, enquiring about measures to reduce home energy use, to start to gauge interest and build a bank of people who would share their experiences, good or bad, with others considering similar measures. To offer your experience or consult others, please make contact by using the church email address.

As conditions allow we would hope to arrange community events or workshops on such topics as upcycling, growing food, repairing and altering clothes, home composting, reducing your carbon footprint, cooking with leftovers or maybe even toolshare schemes or swapshops. To do this we need a small team of people concerned about environmental issues, from any church or none. Events would be for the whole community so the wider the representation the better. If you would be happy to be involved in any way please get in touch by using the church email address.

ECO Congreation Silver Award
We can now officially announce that we have gained Eco-Congregation Scotland’s Silver Award. The Assessors’ report with their particular commendations and recommendations is available here .

On Thursday 26 September 2024 our MP Chris Kane spent an hour with several of those involved and presented the certificates to Sue and Margaret. On Sunday 29th there was a Service of celebration.
