𝗦𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗼𝗼𝗻!

From 1 September to 4 October, Christians around the world are invited to pray, worship and act for God’s creation during the Season of Creation.

This year’s theme, “Living Water”, reminds us of God’s life-giving presence and our shared calling to care for the earth and all who depend on it. Inspired by Ezekiel’s vision of the river that brings healing wherever it flows, we’re invited to immerse ourselves in God’s renewing work and become streams of hope in our communities.

We encourage congregations across the Uniting Church to participate in the Season of Creation through worship, prayer and practical action. Explore the resources available via the link in the Comments.

In an incredible rescue, six health workers have been found safe after more than 30 hours adrift at sea!

The team was on a two-hour voyage between two remote islands in Fiji's far east, when their boat's engine failed and it began taking on water.

Incredibly, they were found on Thursday evening by a passenger ferry about 20km from the nearest island.
