🌎🌱 Celebrate God’s gift of creation with your congregation!

As September 1 approaches, we’re looking forward to Creation in Christ, a new ecumenical observance inviting us to celebrate God’s gift of creation and renew our call to care for our common home.

Whether it’s a special worship service, prayer, outdoor gathering, or something simple, there are many ways to participate. How might your congregation celebrate Creation in Christ? We’d love to hear your ideas and plans! ❤

Pray for the Season of Creation

The Season of Creation begins today! 🌱🌎

From September 1 through October 4, Christians around the world celebrate the Season of Creation as a time to rejoice in God’s good creation, listen to the voices of creation and our neighbors, and renew our commitment to caring for the earth.

As we begin this season, may we slow down, pay attention, and remember that we are part of God’s beautiful and interconnected creation. 🌎

Let us pray: Creator God, open our eyes to the beauty of your creation and our hearts to its needs. Give us grateful hearts and courageous spirits to care for the earth and all your creatures. Bless the celebrations and all who mark this Season of Creation, that our wonder may lead us to lives of care and renewal. Amen. 💚

Thanks for all your donations to the Greater Augusta Back to School Program! The event last Sunday was a big hit. Early estimates were that it served upwards of 1000 children. Here is a nice story from WGME-TV about it.
