SEVENTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

Season of Creation

Lord God You care for land and beast and stranger

and call us to simplicity and jubilee:

open our hearts and minds to the wisdom of your ways

that the earth may be renewed

and all creation celebrate its fullness;

to the glory of your name.

Amen

What a rich harvest your goodness provides! Wherever you go there is plenty. Psalm 65:11

THE PRAYERS OF THE CHURCH

PRAYERS FOR THE CHURCH

We pray for the Province of the Episcopal Church of Sudan The Most Revd Ezekiel Kumir Kondo Archbishop of the Province of Sudan and Bishop of Khartoum. We pray for Steve our Bishop and our Diocese; for Thabo our Metropolitan and the Anglican Church of Southern Africa; for Justin of Canterbury and the Anglican Communion.

PRAYER FOR THE WORLD

The cost of our success is the exhaustion of natural resources, leading to energy crises, climate change, pollution, and the destruction of our world. Help us in our endeavours to use our natural resources wisely and to preserve our world for future generations to come.

SEPTEMBER: SEASON OF CREATION

“In God's hand is the life of every creature and the breath of all humankind." Job 12:10

As Spring arrives with signs of new life so we celebrate creation. We celebrate our world in all its abundance and offer our care as its stewards to a future in which we honour God's grace, bounty, goodness and the creative possibilities unfolding in and all around us.

PARISH MINISTER CALL

ECO OUTING TO RIETFONTEIN NATURE RESERVE

We have booked the reserve for Saturday 29 September for a walk as part of our Season of Creation. The reserve is a 25 hectare green space in the little suburb of Paulshof, next to Sunninghill. There is a beautiful 2.5km circular walking trail that is well maintained and provides a lovely pathway from which to sight the myriad birds and some buck that make this reserve home.

The cost will be R50 per person as we have had to pay a booking fee. The limit is 20 people as more is not practical. We will leave from the car park at 07h30 and completes the trail in about an hour. For those who wish, we shall have a bring-your-own picnic breakfast at the picnic site.

There is a booking list at the back of the church and a picture of the reserve and trail. Bookings are on a first come first serve basis. Direction will be sent to you if you book.

ECO QUOTE

Sooner or later, we will have to recognise that the Earth has rights, too, to live without pollution. What mankind must know is that human beings cannot live

without Mother Earth, but the planet can live without humans.

Evo Morale.
