Our mission partner for Easter is A Rocha UK (“the rock” in Portuguese). It is a Christian environmental charity.

A Rocha UK (ARUK) is a Christian charity working for the protection and restoration of the natural world and committed to equipping Christians and churches in the UK to care for the environment
Responding to the biblical mandate to care for the earth, and demonstrating the Christian hope for God’s world, we are working with:
Churches through our Eco Church programme
Christian environmental leaders through our interdenominational convening work
Families and individuals through our Wild Christian scheme and community, supporting people to enjoy, nurture and defend nature in their own homes and communities, and by campaigning
Christian land managers through our Partners in Action network. This network includes our own two nature reserves, Foxearth Meadows and Wolf Fields, which are also demonstration sites to inspire and enable others to manage small or larger areas of land for the benefit of people and nature
A Rocha UK is part of the worldwide family of A Rocha organisations committed to nature conservation as an expression of Christian mission. We work collaboratively with others who share our passion for nature, a healthy environment and a just transition to a low carbon world, ever more critical in a time of climate and biodiversity crises.
Bible verse for the day: Matt 16:18
Jesus came back, “God bless you, Simon, son of Jonah! You didn’t get that answer out of books or from teachers. My Father in heaven, God himself, let you in on this secret of who I really am. And now I’m going to tell you who you are, really are. You are Peter, a rock. This is the rock on which I will put together my church, a church so expansive with energy that not even the gates of hell will be able to keep it out.
