Earth Day 2019: Protect Our Species

Celebrating The Oneness of Life

 

Prayer of Stewardship

        God of all Creation,

         At the beginning of time
         You placed a single mandate on humankind
         To be stewards of Creation
         To replenish and nurture all generations
         What you have made

         
         We kneel today amid that same Creation-
         A world that is, in many ways, more splendid than ever
         But, in too many ways, scarred beyond recognition

         

         Turn us from our unmindfulness
         Help our tough be light
         Help us renew the worlds that supports us
         So we may once more know Creation
         As it was in the beginning

         

         Amen

·    Bring nature into the garden with plants that attract butterflies and plants that attract hummingbirds!
