SEASON OF CREATION

The Season of Creation begins September 1, The Day of Prayer for Creation, and ends October 4, the feast day of St Francis of Assisi.

During the Season of Creation, Christians all over the world rejoice together. We are called to honour the Creator by loving creation and each other. This year we are protecting the web of life, in all its variety because each species reveals to us the glory of the creator. And we will put our faith into practice through prayer, hands on action and advocacy.

What can you do to protect the web of life?

PLEDGE OF COMMITMENT - TO PROTECT AND HEAL GOD’S CREATION

We have come to renew our covenant with God and with one another in Christ Jesus, our Lord. We have come to help protect God's creation.

We have come as followers of Jesus to commit ourselves anew to one another and to heal injustice and poverty. We have come to stand together against all threats to life.

We have come to discover some new beauty every day in God's creation: the sunrise and sunset, birds, flowers and trees, rainbows in the sky, the stars, the many forms of life in the forest.

We have come to listen to the "music of the universe"- water flowing over rocks, the wind, trees bending in the wind, raindrops pattering the roof.

We will remember always that God speaks to us through the beauty of his creation, and we will try our best to answer God's call to reverence all that he has created.
