Greetings …

This week, our third in the Season of Creation, is also Social Justice Sunday.  When we think of Social Justice we might think of what we can do to make the world a better place for one another, but I think it is also imperative that we look at how we care for our common home.

As Christians, I think care of our common home is a holistic, integral, human and spiritual vision and is really about how we care for all of God’s Creation.  We are all inextricably linked, and so when we care for one part of Creation we are also caring for other parts.

Today we will have the opportunity to learn about some of the things that each one of us can do that will make a difference.  The little things that we can each do are not insignificant, but feed into the bigger pool of collective care.

As we think about all that this means, I’d like to share a prayer with you which comes from Heartbeat of the Seasons written by K Glennon.

                     Turner of the seasons,
                     Energy of the first flaring forth,
                     Source of newness and creativity,
                     Hidden activity in the darkness,
                     Align us to your budding presence in this season of spring.

As we see what is happening around us, may each one of us walk in step with the Creator as we care for the Creation and its many gifts.

Blessings – Rev  Heather Hon (she/her).
