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

Creation Collects for Easter 5, Year A:

Fearless savior, be with us to calm our fears, soothe our souls and embolden our lives that we may become living stones which shout out your justice to the whole of creation. As you have taught us to live in the light, may we bring that light to all corners of the earth for you are God, creator, redeemer and sustainer, now and forever. Amen.

Compassionate One, who is always more ready to listen than we, incline the ears of our hearts that we recognize our sin of unjust living. Lead and guide us into right relationships with all you have made from ant to Antarctica, that with truly thankful hearts we may so transform our world that all will see you through our lives, for you are God, now and forever. Amen.
