The theme for this year’s Season of Creation (Sept.1st-Oct. 4th) is “Living Water”.
Please visit the ecumenical Season of Creation website for resources and information of how you and your community can participate in the Season of Creation.
The Biblical text for this year is drawn from Ezekiel 47:9- 12, which portrays God’s life-giving water flowing from the temple of God. The river grows deeper and deeper restoring barren land, reviving waters, and sustaining flourishing ecosystems. The vision invites human responsibility: recognising ecological damage, embracing interconnectedness, we are called to immerse ourselves in the water, and actively safeguarding and working for the renewal of creation so that environmental healing and human well-being may flourish together.
