Throughout Creationtide, 1st September - 4th October, there will be a daily posting of material to help us reflect on the various themes associated with this period in the Church’s year.
The posts will incorporate the following themes:
- Glory of the Cosmos,
- Bible
- Earth’s Wonders
- Care of the Planet
- Meditation/ Prayer
- Praise & Adoration
- Jesus, the heart of it all
I hope you will find these notes, prayers, hymns and meditations helpful and that you will feel you want to call in on the site each day. You will be very welcome and as many of the items reflect the biggest challenge of our times (notwithstanding Covid 19), I hope you might encourage other like-minded people to join us on this 34 day pilgrimage.
This short prayer is for anyone who tries to express their faith in art, poetry, music or in any other way. It is also a prayer for those who undertake creative tasks for any sort of church services or evangelistic occasions. I use it often.Gracious Spirit,
inspire in me
holy creativity
that I may do (write/paint/craft/organise)
bold things for you
and to Christ's glory.
