Having taken part in a local Churches Together initiative in which Eco Church featured, Market Harborough Methodist Church made the decision to register. Although it was something of a challenge initially to determine what was already going on in the church to care for God’s earth they stuck to it and were rewarded with an Eco Church Bronze Award. They found that working as a group was helpful because it sparked ideas for action. Looking ahead, the church plans to do more to care for the environment in its grounds and to work with another local church embarking on the Eco Church journey.
