The Season of Creation takes place every year from 1 September – 4 October.
It’s an opportunity for churches across the globe to focus on the natural environment, either for one Sunday or for the whole season. In the UK, many churches observe the season in addition to an annual Harvest service.
The Revd Lindsey Sanderson, Moderator of the URC National Synod of Scotland, has recorded an encouragement and prayer that forms part of this rich tapestry of Season of Creation resources.
The Joint Public Issues Team has put together a wide range of resources, suitable for all kinds of congregations. Featuring breath-taking videos, poetry, sermon outlines, prayers, song suggestions and all-age activities, some materials closely follow the Revised Common Lectionary while others are perennial.
Explore the resources, see jpit.uk/creation.
URC Special Category minister the Revd David Coleman, Chaplain with EcoCongregation Scotland, has curated an online resource to support congregations in celebrating Season of Creation. With lectionary notes, prayers, poems, and location videos, there is a variety of writers and media for you to use in whatever way is most encouraging for your own church and community.
