💧🌿 SEASON OF CREATION 2026: LIVING WATER
On 1 September, Christians around the world begin the Season of Creation, a time of prayer, reflection and action for our common home. The season runs until 4 October, the Feast of St Francis of Assisi.
This year’s theme is “Living Water”, inspired by Ezekiel 47:1–12. We are invited to imagine God’s life-giving river flowing into places of drought and destruction, restoring ecosystems, renewing communities and bringing life wherever it goes. 🌊
The theme calls us not only to pray for creation, but to immerse ourselves in the work of healing it.
💧 How can you celebrate?
🌱 Pray by holding a prayer service, blessing of the waters or reflection on Ezekiel 47.
🚰 Protect water by learning about the rivers, wetlands, coastlines and water systems in your community and taking action to protect them.
🌿 Restore by organising a river, wetland, beach or community clean-up or restoration activity.
🤝 Gather by bringing churches, schools, communities and environmental groups together around a shared commitment to care for creation.
📣 Speak up by advocating for clean, accessible water and climate justice, especially for communities most affected by water scarcity, pollution and climate change.
💚 Make a commitment by choosing one practical action you can take throughout the Season of Creation and inviting others to join you.
This September, let’s step into the river. Let’s allow living water to flow through our prayers, our communities and our actions.
🌊 Living Water. Living Creation. Living Hope.
📅 1 September to 4 October 2026
