Creation - Season to Live in God's Likeness
Holy One, whose fingers sculpted sun and moon;
Holy Spirit, who brooded over the waters of creation;
How Word, who lives in us;
may we share in your grace, love and communion,
so that we may live in your likeness;
for you live in unity and diversity,
one God, now and for ever. Amen. (ACC)

Creation - Season to be Guided into All Truth
Spirit of truth:
guide us into all truth;
consume the lies that shroud the world in hate;
pray in us with sighs too deep for words
with hope for a new world;
through Jesus Christ,
who goes to the right hand of God. Amen.

Creation - Season to be Gifted with Fire, Strength & Boldness
God of wind and flame,
send your life-giving Spirit upon your people:
give fire to our words,
strength to our witness
and boldness to our proclamation
of your wondrous work in Christ;
who, with you and the Spirit, lives and reigns
now and for ever. Amen.

Creation - Season to Turn Hearts to Mend
God unheld by word or wall:
lift us from dullness and cynical contempt;
make us ready for your Spirit of transforming power;
and turn our hearts to the mending of the world,
through Jesus Christ, the name above all names. Amen.

Creation - Season to Be Lead
Gracious God,
through a vision you sent forth Paul to preach the gospel
and called the women to a place of prayer on the sabbath.
Like Paul and Lydia, may our hearts respond to your word
and be open to go where you lead us. Amen. (ACC)
