10 Simple Ways

1. Keep informed!

Sign up for Green Christian’s News Email (free to all) and get a fortnightly dose of news and inspiration. These emails will give you ideas of what you might do.

2. Join us!

Join us! You’ll get a subscription to Green Christian magazine, access to our email discussion group (see point 3) and your membership donation will support the wider work of the organisation.

3. Link up!

Join our email discussion group CELINK  – (You do have to be a member of Green Christian for this.)

4. Online Workshops

Attend our online workshops (usually on a Wednesday at 7pm)  and publicise these. There is often opportunity to stay behind online a little while at the end of the online meeting and meet other members who have come to the meeting.

5. Show us off!

Display Green Christian leaflets and magazine at your church and ask the church leaders to use our prayer guide in services. Have a stall! – Run a small stall for Green Christian at your next church event. Contact Ruth at info@greenchristian.org.uk for resources and advice.

6. Look for Locals

Find out if there is a Green Christian Local Group near you. Contact Isobel at localgroups@greenchristian.org.uk .

If there is no local group, consider forming one. If you are a member, we can put you in contact with a few Green Christian members who live near you – invite them round for tea, or for a nature walk followed by a tea-shop or pub visit. We can send you the format for a short programme to help your discussions – contact Ruth at info@greenchristian.org.uk

7. Encourage your leader to lead

Please tell your local church leaders and “Churches Together” leaders about the Joy in Enough Confession. Encourage them to use it for the Season of Creation. 1 Sept-4 Oct

8. Protect biodiversity

Run a fundraising event at your church for Green Christian’s “Rainforest Fund Project” and raise £100 to save endangered habitat. 

9. Keep us all informed

Send us news and pictures of green events at your church, and especially tell us about upcoming events, however small. We can help you to publicise them via our Enews and website – please let Judith know at webeditor@greenchristian.org.uk .

5 more substantial ways of becoming involved

(Generally, before offering below, you will have tried some of the above first, and become a Green Christian member.)

1. Join our friendly volunteer team

Most of the work of Green Christian is carried out by volunteers who do tasks largely from home at a time to suit them. Perhaps you could be of service in one of the following: (Contact Ruth at info@greenchristian.org.uk for more information.)

• Social Media Team
• Youtube Team
• Green Christian Magazine Editorial Team;
• Website Technical People (WordPress);
• Fundraising Team
• Volunteer Coordinator
• Help with running Zoom workshops
• Food Project team

.

2. Organise a local Green Christian event in your town

“Green Christian On the Road Together”: This involves finding a few people to help you, finding a venue, organising the catering and publicity and preferably one local speaker. We can help with the programme and other speakers.

3. Join Green Christian’s Way of Life Community

The Green Christian Way of Life Community is offered to Green Christian members for whom care for God’s creation in all its forms is a fundamental outworking of their faith. The Way of Life is a calling for deeper engagement and shared encouragement.

4. Be a regional coordinator

Sometimes it is useful for Green Christian’s board of trustees, and Information Officer to have contact with members of Green Christian living in a specific area, especially if we do not have a local group in that area. If you are interested in this please contact Ruth at info@greenchristian.org.uk

5. Do Eco Church, Eco-Congregation or Live Simply

Encourage your church to become an Eco Church, Eco-Congregation or Live Simply Award community. These are independent of Green Christian, but many of our members encourage their churches to take part. First, find out if your church leadership and one or two congregation members are interested. If you are a Green Christian member you can use the CELink email group to ask questions and share ideas about this process.
