Planning For the Season of Creation

Celebrated worldwide by many Christian denominations, the Season of Creation (SOC) is a time to renew our relationship with our Creator and all creation. This year’s theme “Listen to the voice of Creation” is based on Exodus 3:1-12. Whether you are looking for an in-depth study of the SOC or specific resources such as prayers, lectionaries, sermons, or a sample of an ecumenical prayer service, you will find it all in the 2022 SOC Guide and on the SOC website .
