Celebrating God's Creation

God of Wonder, 

As we gather together to bless the earth and celebrate the potential of all trees before us, we pray that it may serve as a living witness to our commitment to heal our common home through long-lasting, bold changes. 

Grant us the courage to continue to take this stand for the sake of the goodness of your creation, and the inspiration and delight it provides us. 

Through Christ, your Son, our Lord

Scripture of the Day

Jesus said, “What do you make of this? A farmer planted seed. As he scattered the seed, some of it fell on the road, and birds ate it. Some fell in the gravel; it sprouted quickly but didn’t put down roots, so when the sun came up it withered just as quickly. Some fell in the weeds; as it came up, it was strangled by the weeds. Some fell on good earth, and produced a harvest beyond his wildest dreams.

Matthew 13: 3 – 9
