CALL: SEEK AND SHOW CHRIST
The WORD says...
Acts 27: 20
“When neither sun nor stars appeared for many days, and no small tempest raged, all hope of our being saved was at last abandoned.”
Let us PRAY...
Father, Your precious word illumines our steps
and without You we remain lost and disorientated.
Holy Spirit, teach us through Your word and each other
to travel our Father’s path together, walking gently on Creation.
May each gathering of Your people in churches everywhere
crave Your guiding, consoling and transforming presence.
Give us the honesty we need
to recognise when we lose or obscure Your light for others.
Give us grace to hold onto You,
ready and able to share Your light.
We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus,
who calls us His followers, to be light to the world. Amen
and without You we remain lost and disorientated.
Holy Spirit, teach us through Your word and each other
to travel our Father’s path together, walking gently on Creation.

We ask this in the name of Your Son Jesus,

Let us REFLECT...
·
In what
circumstances do I lose sight of God?
· We prayed that we might walk gently on Creation. What
is my responsibility confronted by the storm of climate change?
· What responsibility do we have as a community to
address climate change?
What to DO...
Global:
Take action by adding your voice to the call to address the climate emergency.
Local:
Are your churches involved in the eco-church/ eco-congregations award?
Personal:
Individual actions on reducing carbon are not enough to make the difference but together they add up.
