Today is "World Day of Prayer for Creation", which marks the start of the Season of Creation, which runs until 4 October.

As well as prayer and reflection, there is also the opportunity to register for a residential conference being run by the Scottish Episcopal Church's Net Zero team in October. See below for more information!

Hope for Creation is a residential conference organised by the Scottish Episcopal Net Zero team, which will take place between 20 to 21 October in Stirling, bringing together people interested in practical action to tackle climate change in the Scottish church context.

The conference will provide opportunities for worship, discussion and learning, with contributions from across the SEC, ecumenical partners, and partner organisations.

The event takes place at the Stirling Court Hotel, and overnight accomodation is available. Bethany Nelson, Net Zero Empowerment Co-ordinator, said: "The Net Zero team are looking forward to welcoming you to Stirling for the Hope for Creation Conference. We will spend the days learning from one another as we celebrate creation, deepen our understanding of stewardship, and share stories of hope-filled action.

"Plans for this conference were drawn up in response to the feedback from attendees of the Net Zero Roadshow events, which took place over the past year. The opportunity to share best practice, reflection and worship together was appreciated, and this conference is a response to a desire for the Church to spend more time gathered to consider these matters. Hope for Creation will also allow us to share our learning with, and learn from, ecumenical guests and partner organisations.

"We are grateful to our sponsors, Ecclesiastical, and the General Synod Office for supporting this event, and if you have any questions about attending, please do get in touch."

Further information on the conference, including a draft agenda, accommodation and catering details, and booking are available via the Eventbrite event page: https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/hope-for-creation-tickets-1990087987743

The question to be pondering this week: if Jesus looked at you the way he looked at Peter, what name would he use for you?
