Eco-church award
St George’s Church is working towards the bronze Eco-church award.
We do so out of a conviction that the world we live in was created by God and that human beings are both the crown of creation and the stewards of it. (Genesis chapter one)
To fulfil our mission, we have recently established St George’s meadow at the south-west end of our extended churchyard.

The project has involved Marches Meadows Group; Caring for God’s Acre; Shrewsbury Youth for Christ and Mary Webb Secondary School. In May, the latter three groups worked with church members to install six bird boxes and four reptile mats.
We have also twinned our toilet through www.toilettwinning.org with a toilet in Africa.
In addition, we have set up St George’s Explorers, aimed at families, helping them to explore how faith interacts with God’s creation.

Our Easter Egg hunt in the churchyard was joined by over 20 children and their families.
