(April 6, 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

  • download the Collects as part of a Bulletin Insert for your Service Bulletin.

Creation Collects for Easter 3, Year A:

Loving God who journeys with us in all the seasons of our lives, purify us – heart, body, and mind – that we may be washed through and through with your healing power, and hereafter live as witnesses who incarnate justice like an ever-rolling stream; through Jesus Christ our redeemer, who with you and the Holy Spirit, live and reign for ever and ever. Amen.

Living God who draws all creation to your being, as we journey through life, heighten our awareness of the simplicity and delicacy within which your world is woven. May our journey be one of discovery and awe at the vastness of your complexity. Bring us at last to the beach where we continually celebrate you in the breaking of the bread; through Christ our savior, who with you and the Holy Spirit, reign, now and forever. Amen.
