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.
Sonnet of The Source

Source of deep rhythms of our universe,
You magnificently nurture both life and death:
from pulsing galaxies to gentlest of breaths,
from softest rain to gamma ray bursts.
Matter birthed into being and scattered abroad
enjoined in the arrow of time,
chaotic, yet crying to be refined
by the forces released at your Word.
So particles eagerly coalesced
and gravity gathered its spheres:
life was invited, a simple-form guest
to evolve, once it had appeared,
into reasoning creatures with power to distil
this opus of love and God’s mighty will.
this opus of love and God’s mighty will.
