Refreshments & Decorations for our Pot Luck Lunch
To make this event a success, we would appreciate some help with catering and decoration 🧁🦋
We are looking for afternoon tea style food: bite sized sandwiches, vol-au-vonts, sausuage rolls, butterfly cakes, fruit kebabs or even Colin caterpillars!
To decorate please bring a jam jar/recycled flower stand/old piece of wood etc - full of your own garden flowers or hand made butterflies/chrysallis/caterpillar decorations!
Can anyone offer help making recycled paper butterfly streamers or decorations for the church? Or help with washing up and cleaning afterwards?

DEEP WATERS - A NEW 8 WEEK COURSE
REGISTER YOUR INTEREST
We are considering running an 8-week course, beginning in Creation Time, that provides a faith-based framework within which anxieties and fears about climate change and biodiversity loss can be expressed and explored together. It aims to help people navigate experiences of eco-anxiety and climate grief through a Christian lens of love, wisdom, and justice, and to lead people into a place of active hope.
If you would be interested in participating, have a look at the course here https://borrowedtime.earth/programmes-of-mutual-support/deep-waters-programme/ and get in touch with me on louise.burrows@lacotechurch.ch
