We are opening the church for a time of quiet reflection for the community and church members to come and light a candle and pray for peace, and to pray for our increasingly fragmented world. Many of us are feeling helpless and unsure of what is going on in our world and how we should respond. Lighting a candle for peace gives us an opportunity to stop and pause as we pray for peace. You can stay a while or stay for the whole time, between 10.00am – 12.00noon on Saturdays March 21st, April 18th, May 16th, June 13th
The Dorset South and West Circuit is very pleased to announce that it has been awarded a Bronze ‘Eco Circuit’ Award. This is given by A Rocha UK, who support and recognise the work of churches and circuits which focus on making their community as ‘Eco’ as possible. Thanks also go to the many local churches in the area whose own work has contributed to this award.
It is now some time since Traidcraft went into administration. However, a limited number of their own brand products have been re-launched by Transform Trade, including tea bags, greetings cards and toilet rolls. The United Church remains committed to Fair Trade. We have recently been awarded our Fairtrade Place of Worship certificate and we continue to use Fair Trade tea and coffee at church events. The Church shop stocks many Fair Trade items, including Divine chocolate, cocoa, coffee, peanut butter, honey, Fair Trade cards and gifts from Shared Earth. Thank you for your support.
