Invitation to join eco church festival in Norwich 

An open invitation has been extended to Norwich Cathedral for a Rogation Sunday Eco Church Festival Evensong giving thanks for God’s creation and celebrating the progress of churches across the Norfolk & Waveney in the Eco Church survey programme on Sunday May 10.

Diocesan environment officer, Barbara Bryant, said: "Rooted in the ancient tradition of walking the land in prayer, we gather to bless the earth, honour faithful action, and renew our shared commitment to creation care. With a variety of stalls from environmental organisations, a chance to picnic in the Cathedral Garth, and a joyful procession out of Evensong around the Close, we celebrate being part of a growing movement of churches seeking to live out the gospel through practical love for God’s world.

Why not bring a banner or flag to process with, made from upcycled and re-used materials as a celebratory symbol of your parish's creation care journey? Come and share your stories, triumphs and challenges with one another."

The eco stalls and picnic opportunity (bring your own or purchase from Bread Source in the Refectory) start from 1:30pm in the cloister and garth, with Evensong starting at 3:30pm, ending with the procession around the grounds. In this 10th Anniversary Year of the Eco Church programme we look forward to celebrating together.
