The Season of Creation
Celebrating the Sacred Gift of Earth
The four classic elements are still essential symbols of the cultures and belief systems
of many groups, including Native Americans, pagans, and various tribal groups
throughout the world…During the Greek Hellenic civilization (323-146 B.C.), the
symbols used to represent the four elements of Greek physics were based on the
triangle.

The Lord’s Prayer (using sins/sin)
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.
Sharing the Bread and Cup
At home, please eat what you are using for bread right away. We will then
share the cup at the same time as usual.

Prayer after Communion
Going Forth
Closing Hymn “Earth Is Full of Wit and Wisdom” insert
Earth is full of wit and wisdom, sounding God’s delighted
laugh,
from the tiny roly-poly to the treetop-tall giraffe.
All creation sings in wonder; even rocks and trees rejoice
as they join the ringing chorus: echoes of our Maker’s voice.
Earth is full of wit and wisdom, woven into harmony.
Every creature has a purpose, every flower and bumblebee.
Spider, human, redwood, gecko, monkey, chicken, mouse and
snake
live within a single fabric: cloth that only God could make.
Earth is full of wit and wisdom: penguin, platypus and snail,
cactus, sea slug, oak and algae, from the microbe to the
whale.
In this great and strange creation, with a breath God gives us
birth:
born of soil to live as stewards, called to love and serve the
earth.
