Youngsters at Stirling Methodists put their green hearts into climate campaign

Stirling Methodist Church has taken part in the Climate Coalition’s Show The Love campaign.

As part of the campaign, young people from the church made Green Heart badges which have been worn by many members of the congregation to‘show their love’for the Earth and commitment to its protection.

The Church invited Stirling’s MP Stephen Kerr and MSPs representing Stirling to also take part.
