Wednesday 14th January – Happy Green New Year

The next SOW meeting will be on 14th January (note: NOT the last Wednesday in the month, see below), 7:30pm at the church hall.

• Discussion and planning about Green New Year’s Resolutions
• Let’s come up with some positive ways we can improve the environment in our parish (and maybe in our personal lives too)
• Bring & share snack-type refreshments – eg crisps, biscuits – for a party buffet to celebrate the New Year!
