Earth Day Sunday

 

Celebrate Earth Day Sunday or other Creation Care Worship Services

The earth sitting in long grassIn the Presbyterian Church (U.S.A.) hymnals (including the new hymnal Glory to God), Book of Common Worship, Directory for Worship, and other worship planning tools, there are many great resources that name ways that all Creation praises God’s name, and how we can give thanks to God for the wonder and beauty of the world around us. Explore these traditional, good tools and find out what rich resources exist already in our church!


Each year, Creation Justice Ministries offers Christian education materials to equip faith communities to protect, restore, and more rightly share God’s creation. The 2023 theme is “Sowing Seeds-Prophetic Action To Climate-Changed Lands” This resource provides stories from people committed to caring for our planet through the food system, reflections, sermon starters, prayers and more to guide you and your congregation in faithful action. Earth Day is April 22 and you can celebrate Earth Day Sunday with your congregation any time in April, or throughout the year. Download the PDF here.
