Creation Care

Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words. Romans 8:26

This story was written by Sonya VanderVeen Feddema as a submission to the Climate Witness Project creation care worship resource collection. It could be read as children’s sermon or it could be printed on individual pages where kids or a Sunday School class could create their own illustrations. Kids could also be assigned parts and act the story out while another person reads it out loud.

We bring our prayers to Creator God, who both "takes up our pain and bears our suffering" and will "let justice roll down like a river."

Christ is risen from the dead,

and creation celebrates!

Have you ever thought about what Easter means for the created world? Have you ever thought about why it matters that Christ’s resurrected body was in a physical form? Christ’s body was recognizable by its scars. It could be touched. Christ’s resurrected body has implications for the creation around us, because matter, the things of this earth, matter to God. They will be changed, renewed, restored, but still recognizable, scars and all.
