Growing Hope
A Hazelnut eco resource day for churches wanting practical ideas, get inspired, and learn about the network
Event description
A Hazelnut eco resource day for churches wanting practical ideas, shared learning, space to pause, and a chance to explore what Hazelnut has to offer.
Growing Hope is a one-day gathering for churches engaging with creator, creation, and community, whether you are just beginning or already well established.
The day is shaped to offer a balance of good input, practical ideas, and time to breathe. There will be space to connect with others doing similar work, to reflect on the wider story of faith and hope in this moment, and to explore how Hazelnut can support churches through training, resources, and network connection.
The atmosphere will be unhurried and welcoming, with a clear structure and freedom to engage at your own pace. Come for the whole day or for part of it. There is space either way.
