Women's World Day of Prayer- 2012 theme:- Let Justice Prevail - written by the women of Malaysia. Do read the background to the country... It says a lot about the importance of wildlife habitats in Malaysia.
e.g. Taman Negara is Malaysia’s oldest and largest national park covering 4,343sq km and preserving virgin rainforest. It is home to 14,500 species of plants and trees, including the world’s largest orchid. (Just think in Britain we only have about 2000 native tress and plants)
Yet much of the habitat is under threat of destruction - Let us encourgae people to pray for Wildlife Justice, and Justice for future generations to prevail too. Resources |

Sunday morning 10.30 service, Andover URC church will be receiving their second EcoCongregation Award:-" Our MP, Sir George Young, who has some green credentials, and is a Christian, is going to present the award. We couldn't get the speaker we'd hoped for, at fairly short notice, so we are doing a DIY service under the title "The Story of an EcoCongregation" [not very snappy, but at least descriptive!] with various people taking part. The service will be followed by Fairtrade Refreshments. (N.B. Remember CEL Conference in 2005 in Andover) |
