Season of Creation
Season of Creation: Sept. 1 to Oct. 4 we pray and act together for Creation
Now is the time to prepare for Season of Creation 2018. The theme of Season of Creation 2018 is pilgrimage.
From September 1 to October 4, Christians around the world are praying and caring for creation. It’s the “Season of Creation” celebrated by Christian churches around the globe.
From Miami to Manila, we’re uniting with one purpose: to steward the Earth. We’re sharing our stories with each other and with the world.
Help your community respond to the Creator’s call. Host a prayer service with the easy-to-use toolkit. Or find a prayer service near you on the map below.

This year Christian communities will be engaging in symbolic actions in front of coal mines, fracking wells, and other sites of ecological destruction.

September 1 was proclaimed as the World Day of Prayer for Creation by the Orthodox Church in 1989, and many other Christian churches have joined since then, with Pope Francis most recently in 2015. It was then extended to be a month-long Season of Creation, ending on October 4 (Feast of St. Francis).
