Calling all Eco Church enthusiasts in Auckland! A Rocha's Auckland local group is hosting a sustainability event at Ponsonby Baptist Church on 2 Sept.

This is an opportunity to connect with Eco Church kaihāpai from the region and to hear and learn from each other. There will also be four mini inspirational talks to equip Eco Church kaihāpai with resources and ideas for the Eco Church journey.

This Sustainable September event will coincide with the Auckland Climate Festival as well as Season of Creation.
