Thought for the week:
It’s Creationtide. From now until October 4th churches come together to celebrate and protect the wonders of our world. Over the five Sundays, we’ll look at Sowing, Growing, Gathering and Treasuring, culminating in our Harvest Festivals.
This year’s theme is “to hope and act with Creation.” As I write this, I’m on holiday on the Norfolk coast. The horizon features an enormous wind farm. What better example could there be of hoping and acting with Creation? Hope that there is a future that doesn’t rely on fossil fuels. Acting with Creation to transform wind into light and heat and motion.
As resurrection people, we are messengers of hope and action transforming the darkest of prospects. In this time of climate crisis, climate emergency, eco-anxiety, we are the bearers of eco-hope.

Collect:
Almighty God,
whose only Son has opened for us
a new and living way into your presence:
give us pure hearts and steadfast wills
to worship you in spirit and in truth;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
