GrassRoutes Coordinator Maria Fernandes shares news our Eco-action projects:
Spring has been with us for a few weeks now, bringing gentle reminders that birth and renewal are essential parts of the cycle of life. With the current abundance of colours, shapes, and blossoms—beautiful reflections of the creativity of our Creator—many Eco-Action projects have been flourishing through significant and ongoing activities, that are helping to nurture people, strengthen communities, and care for the land here in Birmingham.
Faith has been deeply woven into practical actions such as composting, planting, pruning, upcycling, and reducing waste. This month is especially meaningful, as many of the faith communities represented through our Eco-Actions celebrate important festivals and traditions.
We invite you to enjoy this special prayer for the season, along with updates on what is being planted and nurtured through the inspiring work of all the GrassRoutes leaders, including the ones that have completed their Eco-Actions.
