Environmental Stewardship
"The earth is the Lord's, and the fullness thereof; the world, and all they that dwell therein."
~ Psalm 24:1
Christian environmental stewardship is a dimension of our spirituality that we explore in many ways.
As a church we:
PRAY and reflect on the duty to care for God’s Creation and protect the poor and vulnerable.
LEARN about and educate others on the causes and moral dimensions of climate change.
ASSESS how we as individuals and in our families, church, and community contribute to climate change by our energy use, consumptions, waste, etc.
ACT to change our choices and behaviours to reduce the ways we contribute to climate change.
ADVOCATE for Christian principles and priorities in climate change discussions and decisions, especially as they impact the poor and vulnerable.
Improving our Environmental Management Practices
Whitstable URC is always working to make our space more environmentally friendly and more welcoming to our community.
We are committed to being excellent stewards of all that God has given us, including our planet. To this end we tend our church garden and are increasingly involved in the Eco Church initiative. Details of which can be found on the link above.
Walking Fellowship
3rd Saturday of the Month
Everyone Welcome!
We invite everyone to engage their love of nature and neighbour with their love of God. Every month, we explore idyllic gems of our local outstanding natural resources followed by lunch at a local pub. These walks are an opportunity to get to know the surrounding countryside and, at the same time, to meet other people. We look forward to seeing you!
You are also welcome to join us just for lunch!
Walks are suitable for well-behaved dogs.
Walks vary in length (usually around 3-4 miles) and terrain (from coastal trails to hills and woods), but we aim to make them fairly easy to manage, avoiding steep climbs and lots of stiles.
Details and meeting arrangements are posted in the church or can be emailed to you.
You can contact the walk leader at church or via the enquiry form.
N.B. This not a formal walking club and is not covered by insurance.
