Eco Tips for September – taken from A Rocha eco tips calendar.
The Season of Creation (1 September-4 October) is
dedicated to God as the Creator and sustainer of all life.
Join A Rocha UK’s Season of Creation prayer and reflection
webinar on Wednesday 2 September to start this season
with others.
During this period of the church calendar, many churches
celebrate Harvest, thanking God for his provision through the
land and the food that it produces. If you are part of a church
or community, suggest that a service or gathering has a
Season of Creation focus.
Prayers, worship, teaching and the offering could focus on creation.
Could there be an activity with a creation focus too?

Eco Tips for August – taken from A Rocha eco tips calendar.

Looking after wildlife in the heat.

Times of drought and dryness can be dangerous for
wildlife.
Provide water for birds and insects
- put a dish of water out to help wildlife stay hydrated.
Insects, small mammals, birds, and even badgers, foxes, and deer could benefit.
A stone in a plant saucer helps bees to perch and drink without drowning.
These small actions make a big difference and are just some of the ways
we can live out our calling to care for God’s creation.

A prayer for Fire Fighters written by
Rev Catherine Lewis, Presbyter Methodist Cymru, whose husband is an active fire fighter in South East Wales.

Dduw’r cread cyfan,
Rydym yn gweld effeithiau newid hinsawdd – maen nhw wedi eu gosod allan o’n blaenau. Mae ein nentydd, ein hafonydd a’n camlesi yn sych. Mae’r caeau yn felyn a chrin yn lle bod yn glytwaith glas.
Gweddïwn dros bawb sy’n dioddef effeithiau’r tanau gwyllt sy’n llosgi ar draws ein tiroedd.
Gweddïwn dros bawb y mae ac y bydd eu bywoliaeth yn dioddef.
A gweddïwn dros bawb sy’n byw mewn ofn am fod y fflamau yn agosáu at eu cartrefi a’u cymunedau.
Gweddïwn yn arbennig dros ein diffoddwyr tân sy’n parhau i frwydro er mwyn cadw’r tanau dan reolaeth er eu bod wedi ymlâdd.
Y diffoddwyr tân sy’n gweld drostynt eu hunain y difrod i fywyd gwyllt ond sydd, er gwaethaf popeth, yn parhau i weithio ddydd a nos yn eu timau.
Dduw’r cread cyfan, clyw ein gweddi. Clyw ein gweddi a chynnal bawb sy’n byw a gweithio dan yr amgylchiadau hyn.
Yn enw Iesu Grist. Amen.

A Prayer for our Fire Fighters
God of all Creation,
As the effects of Climate Change are laid out before us in the dried-up streams, rivers and canals.
And in the fields that have turned from patches of green to brittle stemmed yellows.
We pray for all effected by the wildfires raging across our lands.
We pray for all whose livelihoods will be and are being affected.
And we pray for those who are living in fear of the flames near to their homes and communities.
We pray especially for our fire-fighters who are exhausted from the ongoing battle to keep the fires contained.
Who see the devastation on the wildlife close at hand, and yet, in teams continue to work both night and day.
God of all creation, receive our prayers. Receive our prayers and sustain all those living through and working in these situations.
In the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Rev Catherine Lewis, Presbyter Methodist Cymru, whose husband is an active fire fighter in South East Wales
