Crowthorne church to hold eco-festival this weekend

A BOROUGH church plans to hold an eco event, where visitors can explore the environment and their relationship with the world.

Crowthorne Baptist Church says that their open weekend will include an exhibition, media meditations, and a talk by a guest speaker from the Baptist union Environment Network.

The church hopes their special event will help visitors to develop environmental awareness and commitment.

On Saturday people will be able to explore creation from a Christian perspective, through a visual display and four creation inspired short films, on the themes of coasts, sky, trees, and life.

Called, God saw that it was Good, the exhibition features inspirational images and science and faith narratives to share God’s mission to the whole community in an age of climate change and environmental crisis.

On Sunday, guest preacher Dave Gregory , will speak, at the church’s regular morning service, on Whole Earth Discipleship.

For young Sunday visitors there is a Shine does Science event led by Dr Dave and the Shine team of Crowthorne Baptist Church.

This is an informal afternoon service for all the family, with scientific investigations, experiments and activities.

The eco weekend will take place at Crowthorne Baptist Church, on Saturday, February 10, and Sunday, February 11.

The exhibition is on Saturday, with doors open from 11am until 3pm.
