Rainbow Garden comments from Faith 4 Change Diocese of Liverpool

Faith 4 Change Comments from their web site

Congratulations to St Philips Warrington

St Philips Westbrook have been awarded a grant of £2000 to develop a Rainbow Garden at the front of the church, including a seating area for those picking up children from the neighbouring schools, as well as people visiting the medical centre next door.

The garden will be developed by the churches men’s group and uniformed organisations. St Philips School children have designed some art work for the garden railings which are being created by a local youth group, of a rainbow to brighten up the front of the church. The church are also adding a number of cycle racks to continue their campaign to get people cycling in the local area. They hosted a very successful event where children took part in Bike Ability sessions while their parents consulted with Dr Bike and the Warrington Cycle Campaign. A cycle powered smoothie maker and try out bikes entertained people and the whole event was buzzing with bikes!

Faith 4 Change is an environmental initiative of the Anglican Diocese of Liverpool.

A BIG THANK YOU to Helen Dawson Faith 4 Change for all the help & support in obtaining the grant. from all @ St Philip`s

The Rainbow Garden Story So Far

Wed, 08 Jul 2009 18:47:00 GMT

RAINBOW GARDEN

Hello

In February this year we started developing an idea and I am sure many of you will have noticed the project being undertaken around the church to make it more open and visible to the community. As part of this project we are reclaiming part of the land to the immediate right of the church entrance to create a "Rainbow Garden", which is for the benefit of all visitors to the church.

A lot of hard work and effort has already gone in to the project and there is still plenty to do. The garden has been designed to accommodate a block paved area to correlate with the shape of the crosses over the church entrance. A bench will be placed at the far end of the path, where people can enjoy the sunshine on a nice sunny day, whilst also enjoying the plants, flowers and grasses that will be planted as part of a new planting scheme.

As we have progressed photographs have been taken , and as you can see many people have been involved , including church folk, beavers, scouts , youth group etc.

We appreciate that everybody is busy and wish to take the opportunity to thank everybody who has given some time to the project. One of the key themes of the project is that this is our church and we very much want the project to be a church community project.

In recent weeks St Philips school children, supported by local art student volunteers have been designing art work, flowers, rainbows, bird’s trees etc to be painted and displayed at the rear of the garden area. The children produced over 85 paintings, and prizes are to be awarded to the 4 most popular designs, and presented at school assembly. All the paintings will be displayed at the Harvest festival service in October.

We hope that when the garden is finished you will all take the opportunity to enjoy it, to relax and meet folk especially in the spring and summertime

Thank you
