September 4, 2022 - Season of Creation. From the beginning as an Eastern Orthodox day of prayer, the Season of Creation has become an ecumenical effort of the World Council of Churches to bring a full season of liturgy to the church that honors the creation. The Season comprises 5 Sundays, and 2022 starts on September 1 with a World Day of Prayer for the Care of the Creation (read a letter from Pope Francis) If you haven't already, you can find the main Season materials at the primary website. Other churches and denominations can also create liturgy specific to their own traditions. One such effort comes from the United Methodist Creation Justice Movement, that liturgy is available online here.
