Creationtide 2025 Week 1: An Invitation to Life

Creationtide Week 1
Join us for Cn Tim Clayton's sermon:
Creationtide: Free Yourself, Free Your Soul - An Invitation to Life

The Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew (Eastern Orthodox) proposed in 1989 that September 1st (the first day of the Orthodox Church year) should be observed as a day “of protection of the natural environment”.

In 2016, Pope Francis declared 1 September an annual World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation. This was expanded in Europe to be a season — Creationtide — going from September 1st until October 4th (the Feast of St Francis), and has been adopted in many churches around the world, including some in the Anglican Communion.

Why is this important? How does this relate to me?
Join us as Tim walks us through the first part of our sermon series during Creationtide.

Creationtide: A whole perspective about God's relationship to creation, not only to each of us and to humans, but God's relationship with Creation and with all creatures that God has created. It's about a whole lot more than simply "take control and do what you want" to the beautiful world we live in.

From our reading in John 12:
Jesus answered them, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit.
