The Season of Creation is celebrated by Christians around the world as a time for renewing, repairing, and restoring our relationship to God, one another, and all of creation. We celebrate the season from September 1 through October 4, 2023.
The Episcopal Church and the Diocese of Missouri join this international effort for prayer and action for climate justice and an end to environmental racism and ecological destruction.
The 2023 theme is Let Justice and Peace Flow. We invite all our congregations to celebrate this season by using some of the resources provided for special worship services or ministry events. If you share about your Season of Creation activities on social media, please use the hashtags #Episcopal #Season of Creation #DioMO
