Season of Creation Resources

The season of Creations starts 1 September, the Day of Prayer for Creation, and ends 4 October, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi.

Below you will find several resources we would like to highlight this year for your Season of Creation planning. If you have additional resources you’d like to suggest for us to include in future postings, please reach out!

 

Things We’ve Made

Did you know that we have a resource designed to help you get your church outside? We’re really proud of it and the Season of Creation is a great time for you to check it out, along with our other resources!

Take Your Church Outside: A How-To Guide

Preaching? Make sure you check out our Tools for Climate Justice Preachers.

We’ve also got several different Wonder Box Curriculums to engage people of all ages in learning about the connections between faith and the natural world.

Our Prayer for Endangered Species may be a good fit for your congregation in this season.

And don’t forget to check out our Resource Library for more wonderful things created by our community.

The Very Rev. Ken Gray has put together this resource and says, in part:

This collection is organized roughly by geographical region. It must be stressed that the very term “Indigenous” stresses local connection with the land from which evolves culture, history, and practice. Translation from one context to another is therefore problematic, though still possible. We can and shall learn from one another, but only if we guard against egregious cultural appropriation. So feel free to use these texts citing their sources. As you are able research the context from which the texts emerge. As we discover each other’s life and historical setting, let us marvel together at the rich and diverse tapestry of the global Christian church. I offer my own simple prayer before I preach.
