On the first Sunday in September we celebrated Spring with a flower-filled service. For the rest of the month we will be thinking about the natural world, our place in it and how we can enjoy and care for it.

From the minister – a prayer for walking in the season of Creation:

God of Earth and Sea and Sky, we give thanks for the gift of life, for the goodness and wonder of all creation. As we walk with joy and gratitude in our hearts, for the whole community of life, may we walk with humility, with all our senses open, so that we grow in awareness, and in our sense of connection with the natural world. May we also notice the ways in which humanity is hurting creation. May our walk help us to change the way we live, and to live in right relationship with the Earth. Let us work for a more hopeful future, and sow seeds of justice and healing. Amen.
