Peace with Creation

The 2025 Season of Creation theme

seasonofcreation.org

In the seasons of Advent, Epiphany, Lent and Easter we celebrate the life of Christ. In the season of Pentecost we celebrate the Holy Spirit. Now, in the season of Creation, we have an opportunity to celebrate God, the Creator.

The Season of Creation can be celebrated at other times in the year. However, it is typically celebrated in the Sundays of September, prior to (or including) Saint Francis Day at the beginning of October. For four Sundays in September, prior to St Francis of Assisi Day, we join in celebrating with Christ the wonders of creation. Read more about the Season of Creation on their website.

Need help planning? Themes for each Sunday, prayers, suggested readings and litanies are available at seasonofcreation.org. A lectionary and prayer listing for each Sunday is available here. For access to the Dakota Road Earthkeeping Liturgy, go to the Dakota Road website. 

Send your stories, photos, season of creation banners, and other ideas from your Season of Creation to ecofaith@nemnsynod.org. We want to share them!

Please note:

*Some congregations who celebrate the Season of Creation continue using the regular RCL lectionary rather than shifting to new readings.

**In trinitarian worship, every Sunday is a celebration of God, the Creator, Christ, the Redeemer, and the Holy Spirit, the Life Giver. We do not wait for one month a year to worship as people of the Creation and the Creator!
