The Season of Creation is a global movement, an annual month-long season when Christian communities pray and act to protect creation.

It is an opportunity to dig deep into our faith and come away feeling refreshed in our unity and our love for each other and the Creator. The season starts 1 September, the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation, and ends 4 October, the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and ecology beloved by many Christians.

The Methodist Church of New Zealand has commended the recognition of Green Sunday for the 4th Sunday in September, timed to be within the Season of Creation. For 2022, this celebration will occur on Sunday 25 September.

Whether preparing for a month-long Season, or a one-off Green Sunday, now is the time to develop the theme and ideas for marking this locally or regionally. Watch the video here.
