Creation Season 2008 (Year A)

Easter 2, Year A
(March 30, 2008)

Welcome! We're glad you're planning on observing a liturgical season of creation. We have prepared some materials for you to use in worship, teaching, and personal reflection.

The Collects below are available for you to use. You may

  • copy and paste from this page directly to your Service Bulletin or
  • download the Collects as part of a Bulletin Insert for your Service Bulletin.

Creation Collects for Easter 2, Year A:

God of all hope and joy, to you we offer our praise for new life in the resurrection. Rain down on us the wisdom necessary to daily increase our faith, and through increased faith, may we extend to all God's creation the redemption we profess in our own lives; through Jesus Christ our Savior, who with you and the Holy Spirit, live and reign forever. Amen.

God of our rebirth, help us to fall so passionately in love with you that we may seek and see your presence in all creation from the gentle dew on a newly unfolding leaf to million-year-old fossils. Push far from us the doubt that we are part of the solution to a broken and unsustainable lifestyle, for you are the loving One in whom we live and move and have our being, now and forever. Amen.
