Our Eco Church group is aiming to raise the profile of climate change and sustainability issues within our church congregations and the wider community.
Carbon Fast For Lent 2026
This Lent, Eco Church invites you to take part in the Climate Steward’s Carbon Fast which will help you consider ways to live more simply, give you new ideas to cut your carbon footprint and enable you to focus on God and creation. Each week in Lent features a different theme designed to help us take climate action in manageable ways that bear witness to God. Throughout Lent there will be suggestions on the pew sheet for how you could reduce your carbon footprint or you can sign up to receive these and other key facts by weekly email via this link

Thaxted Church Awarded Silver
The congregation of Thaxted Parish Church was delighted to be awarded the Eco Church Silver Award. This reflects the many ways in which many members of the congregation have changed how things are done at the church to be more environmentally-friendly, since the Eco Church group was started in 2019. These vary from the catering, flower arranging, churchyard management and energy use reduction to “Ringing out for Climate” events with our “Tree of Hope,” engaging with our wider community in support of personal lifestyle changes and worldwide issues.
