Season of Creation 2026
Each year from 1 September to 4 October, the Christian family unites for this worldwide celebration of prayer and action to protect our common home.
It is a special season where we celebrate God as Creator and acknowledge creation as the divine continuing act that summons us as collaborators to love and care for the gift of all that is created.
As followers of Christ from around the globe, we share a common call to care for Creation. We are co-creatures and part of all that God has made. Our well-being is interwoven with the well-being of the Earth.
We rejoice in this opportunity to safeguard our common home and all beings who share it with us.
This year’s theme, “Living Water”, explores Ezekiel 47:9-12 as a powerful biblical vision of hope and ecological healing. Set amid exile and loss, the image of living water flowing from God’s sanctuary reveals divine healing that renews land, water, biodiversity, and human responsibility towards the whole creation.
God of blessings, the universe sings of your glory.
Deepen our gratitude for all you have made and awaken in us a renewed commitment to care for the earth and each other.Give us all the tools to listen to those most affected by climate change and with courage to act urgently and wisely, so that our common home may be healed and restored and all people, and generations to come, may delight in it.
