Creation Care

Sheldon Road Church is committed to do all we can to care for God’s Creation in our worship, lifestyle and engagement with our community. We include this commitment in our church vision: Caring for the whole of God’s creation so that it thrives now and into future generations. We are part of A Rocha UK’s Eco Church programme, and we are currently working towards the Gold Award.

June 2026

Living Lightly 24:1 The earth is the Lord’s, and everything in it, the world, and all who live in it.

Eco Fest: Even though it’s on a Sunday, it’s still worth a visit to this free, one-day community festival celebrating our natural world and all things sustainable to create a positive, hopeful vision of a greener future. Photo exhibition, live music, interesting talks, workshops, stores and refreshments.

Food Safety Day 7th June: https://www.un.org/en/observances/food-safety-day
Taste the benefits of seasonal and local food. Make plans to source locally grown foods that you can add to your diet/shopping list throughout the seasons. Produce grown locally is picked at the peak of its ripeness and will be full of flavour, tasting better than the produce that has been imported and travelled thousands of miles. Next day is celebrated as World Oceans Day – making good choices of fish to eat: Sole of Discretion


Watering On: Our church courtyard garden gets desperately thirsty during this hot weather. If you’re at church during the week, and have a spare few minutes, could you go outside to water the plants, and fill up the wildlife water saucer, please?

Repair Café in Chippenham?: Zero Chippenham is looking into starting a monthly Repair Café in the near future. They are looking at different venues, and spreading the word out that they are looking also for volunteers to help mend simple issues on our goods, to stop us throwing them into landfill. They won’t be mending phones, but they might have a go at that lamp that flickers, or that toaster that won’t, or the radio on the blink. If you think you could help (with support from the trainers at Bath Repair Hub) make small general repairs, let Jan know.
