Season of Creation Resources

This year, from September 1 to October 4, we join the global Christian community in observing the Season of Creation, a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all of Creation through prayer, reflection, and action.

The Season of Creation is not just a time to reflect on the state of our planet, but a call to action. At Anglican Overseas Aid, we believe that by working together, we can cultivate the "firstfruits of hope" and bring about real, lasting change. This is a season to let our hope inspire our actions, to stand in solidarity with all of Creation, and to work tirelessly towards a future where the Earth and all its inhabitants can thrive.

The theme "To Hope and Act with Creation" is a call to embody a faith that is both hopeful and proactive. Drawing inspiration from Romans 8:19-25, we are reminded that Creation itself is groaning in anticipation of its redemption—a redemption that we, as God’s children, are called to participate in. This is not a passive hope but a living, breathing hope that requires us to act in solidarity with the Earth and all its inhabitants.

In a world facing the triple crises of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution, this theme is more relevant than ever. It challenges us to confront eco-anxiety and despair with the transformative power of hope—hope that is rooted in concrete actions aimed at healing and restoring our common home.

As we journey through this Season of Creation, let us hold fast to the hope we profess, knowing that our efforts, combined with the power of God’s grace, can bring forth the renewal of our common home. Together, we can be the hands and feet of Christ, acting in love and hope to care for our beautiful, fragile world.
