For the majority of people in our congregations, Sunday worship is the primary if only time in which they participate in faith formation. As communities committed to cherishing and protecting God’s creation, our Sunday worship throughout the year offers opportunities to highlight our baptismal promise to care for the earth and its many creatures.

In this conference, participants will explore the ways in which congregations can celebrate nature’s seasons and Christian feasts that orient us toward care for the earth. Here we take seriously what has often been overlooked in our history: the power of worship to form creation consciousness, the first step leading to action and advocacy.
