The Church in Creation

Lord of all existence
Of land and sea and sky
Fish and fowl and butterfly
Help us to find each other in the fellowship of created beings
And to celebrate our diversity
In love and praise of you,
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.
All: Amen

AUTHOR OF LIFE,
HEALER OF THE NATIONS;

Commission and Benediction
Go out in love, reconciled to one another in Christ.
Lay aside the works of darkness
and put on the armour of light.
Live honourably,
fulfilling the law through love for all.
And may God mark you out for salvation;
May Christ Jesus be present among you always,
And may the Holy Spirit reconcile you to one another
and fulfil the law of love among you.
Amen
