JOIN THE CELEBRATION

Celebrate God as Creator

Join with Christian traditions around the world in prayer, worship and action to celebrate God as Creator.

The Season of Creation runs from 1 September – 4 October, and is launched with ‘The Feast of Creation in Christ’.

It is a special season to celebrate God as Creator, and acknowledge Creation as the divine continuing act that summons us as collaborators to love and care for the gift of all that is created.

As followers of Christ from around the globe, we share a common call to care for Creation. We are co-creatures and part of all that God has made. Our well-being is interwoven with the well-being of the Earth.

This year’s theme is Living Water

The theme for the Season of Creation in 2026 is Living Water.

Drawn from Ezekiel’s biblical vision (Ezekiel 47:1-12), it highlights a river of life flowing from God, restoring barren lands, reviving polluted waters, and sustaining flourishing ecosystems. It focuses on ecological healing, hope and the interdependence of humanity and nature.

Access resources, prayer materials and promotional materials to observe the Season of Creation in your church on the official website for Season of Creation.

  • In the Season of Creation, we turn again to
    Christ, through whom all things were made
    and in whom all things hold together.

    In his incarnation, death, and resurrection, God’s love is revealed not only for humanity but for the whole created order. To care for creation is therefore an essential expression of Christian discipleship and an integral mark of the Church’s mission: to strive to safeguard the integrity of creation, and to sustain and renew the life of the earth. As we follow Christ, we are called to share in his reconciling work, seeking justice, healing, and hope for the earth and for all who dwell within it.
