The MWC Creation Care Task Force would like to encourage all MWC members and congregations, to take part in the Season of Creation!  

From September 1 to October 4, churches all around the world join together as a family, in prayer and action for the care of the planet, our common home. It is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation: a time to repent, evaluate, repair and rejoice together in creation.  

You can find ideas and resources here:

2 – Give us the power

God,

Give us the power to trust each other
and to choose the sustainable way
that frees your creation from distress.

Give us the power to share knowledge
and to seek for sustainable solutions
that allow future generations to live on

Give us the power to cooperate
to take decisions and actions
that bear fruit sustainably.

Give us the power
through your Holy Spirit

You who saw that it was good.

On the day after tomorrow as in the beginning.

For your kingdom come
and your glory shine
for ever.

Amen

—This prayer is taken from the book Dancing with the Golden Frog: Global Warming and the Lord’s Prayer, by Herman Heijn, pastor at Doopsgezinde Gemeente Haarlem, Netherlands. Submitted by Creation Care Task Force member Rebecca Froese, a member of Mennonite Church Hamburg-Altona, Germany.
