Season of Creation worship resources out now

The Commission on Worship, in collaboration with Lutheran Earth Care Australia and New Zealand, has made available Season of Creation worship resources for 2024. Congregations are encouraged to begin this season of prayer and action for the environment with a special service in September.

The Season of Creation is an ecumenical response to the environmental crisis impacting the world. It is celebrated between 1 September and 4 October as an alternative to the regular time after Pentecost. Each year brings has a themed focus connected to the environment, to raise awareness and inspire responsible environmental action. The 2024 theme is ‘To hope and act with creation’, based on Romans 8:19–25.

The LCA Season of Creation worship resources aim to point God’s people to the hope that we have amid environmental chaos: Christ, as the world’s Redeemer, sustains all things by his powerful word and will make all things new.

There are two suites of resources congregations can choose from: the first is more foundational and general in nature and could be used in any year, while the second suite has been tailored to the 2024 theme.
