The theme for the 2023 Season of Creation is “Let Justice and Peace Flow” and the symbol is a mighty river. In observing the Season of Creation in your congregations, the VA Synod Tapestry Team encourages you to use the symbol of the mighty river in your events. The prophet Amos cries out “But let justice roll on like a river, righteousness like a never-failing stream!” (Amos 5:24) and so we are called to join the river of justice and peace, to take up climate justice and to speak out with and for communities most impacted by climate injustice and the loss of biodiversity.
Season of Creation Worship Resources
Congregations are invited to celebrate the Season of Creation. During the month of August, you are invited to act individually or as a congregation in a unique way each week outline in the Care of Creation 2023 Invitation below. During the month of September, congregations are encouraged to use liturgies developed specifically for the Season of Creation by the Northern Illinois Synod’s Creation Care Committee (linked below). In October, the Tapestry Team will host a Zoom webinar with Phoebe Morad, Director of Lutherans Restoring Creation, and another guest speaker, answering questions and concerns from Lutherans in the VA Synod about climate change and creation justice. Watch for more information about the Zoom coming soon.
